The insta-romance was just so weird to read about. That was around 50 pages to the story if I remember correctly. I could’ve seen all the answers to the story right after Bruce met Madeleine in the Arkham Asylum. Marie Lu always nailed that part, whatever the story she always makes it interesting, writing it with detailed and pertinent information like a script of a movie, you follow the action from afar while being able to see the emotions on the characters’s face. If the book didn’t have that much downsides, her character’s development alone could have all the stars in my rating. She can trick people even if she’s in jail. LOL Madeleine reminds me a younger version of Eurus from Sherlock. The prologue was so good and it starts from her perspective and if I’m being completely honest here, I wish all the book had her POV. She’s only eighteen but extremely smart too. She’s a criminal, detained in Arkham Asylum after being seeing on a murder scene of a billionaire. The backstory of the villain. Madeleine is a complex character and it is one of the focus of the novel. What I can tell you is this: Marie Lu has officially succeeded to make Batman less irritable and more bearable. Following DC’s tradition, after Leigh Bardugo’s delivers a strong Wonder Woman, now it’s time for Marie Lu to write her version of Batman ! If it was to fall on co-blogger’s hand, Lashaan would have probably praised this book just for the fact that it’s Batman LOL #diehardfan but unfortunately, it went through me, a personal hater of Batman from the start.
