I loved picturing her and Bruce interacting. Just when you thought you’d figured her out she’d reveal another layer and you’d find a whole other person underneath and be right back at square one. You never know if you were getting the full picture with her or not. The one good thing about it was being able to picture the scenes with Bruce and Madeleine. I really loved Madeleine, she was such a mysterious and intriguing character. “ You have a heavy heart, for someone with everything.” I did find it slightly ridiculous that Bruce’s punishment for helping the police catch a criminal was doing community service in Arkham Asylum – with the most dangerous criminals – and no one even objected to it? Like Alfred, is that normal to let them make him work in an asylum? But hey, it is Gotham City!
I just wanted to tell the guy to shut up. Like first world problems, your rich billionaire ex-friend is jealous of you. It was those same two scenes just repeated for a fair chunk of the book and then there was fighting with Bruce’s billionaire friend which was kind of funny. While Bruce is doing community service he comes across Madeleine and even before they’ve exchanged any words, he finds himself constantly thinking of her and he continuously visits her cell in Arkham Asylum so it felt very repetitious at times. This is the first book I’ve read by Marie Lu and I really like her writing style but similar to Wonder Woman, it had a lot of slow scenes and it felt like not a lot was happening. Bruce is honestly such a likeable character and I was so excited to see his development throughout the story. I loved how close they all were and I loved his relationship with Alfred. He did a lot of stuff and messed around a lot but he is a genuinely nice character and looks out for the people he loves. Right from the start I loved Bruce, he just seemed like such a great guy and a really good friend to have. It’s just one of those books you can easily devour in a few hours. It’s also quite a short book and can easily be read in one sitting. I was a bit hesitant going into this book because I hadn’t read a lot of great reviews for it but I actually ended up loving it! It was great seeing Marie Lu’s interpretation of a young Bruce Wayne and I think she did a pretty amazing job! I flew through this book and struggled to put it down.
You don’t need superpowers to be a superhero.Ĭlick here to read my review of Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo! Before there was Batman, there was Bruce Wayne…Īn impulsive act on his eighteenth birthday sentences him to community service at the infamous Arkham Asylum, home to the city’s most dangerous and deadly criminals.Īmongst them is Madeleine Wallace – a brilliant killer and Bruce’s only hope to save Gotham from its new menace: the Nightwalkers.īut can Madeleine be trusted or is this all part of her plan to destroy the city forever?
