Doctor Aphra (Star Wars) by Sarah Kuhn
I am a little torn. I didn’t really enjoy this but I am not sure exactly why. Was it the story was not that interesting? Was it the main character was obnoxious? Was it the cop out ending? Probably a little of all.
Definitely enjoyable! The writing was cheesy, but lighthearted, so I think it’s definitely worth the read if teen romance is what you’re looking for. For me, the relationship between Kimi and Akira was something I didn’t aspire to have which did detract from the book a little. It definitely is someone’s cup of tea just not mine. Too much physically stuff, not enough emotional basis. Overall, a good book, though. Worthy of 4 stars within its genre (but maybe not out of all books).
Sarah Kuhn and Nicole Goux’s Shadow of the Batgirl reimagines the story of Cassandra Cain’s origin as Batgirl. The story begins with Cassandra – raised to be a mute assassin by her father – hearing a target say the word “daughter” while pleading for his life. It triggers something in her that drives her to flee her life as a weapon, seeking shelter in a library. She meets Jackie, an older woman who runs a Japanese restaurant, and Barbara Gordon, who teaches at the library. Cassandra discovers a found family through them, figuring out who she wants to be and finding ways to connect with those around her.
Like other retellings from DC’s YA original graphic novel line, Shadow of the Batgirl honors what preceded it while offering a story free to explore core characters and introduce them to new readers. Kuhn, an accomplished storyteller, brings more to Cassandra Cain’s narrative to honor the character’s Asian-American heritage. Artist Goux and colorist Cris Peter bring Kuhn’s story to vibrant life with dynamic character and location designs. In particular, they take full advantage of the library setting’s scale for splash pages depicting action. Finally, Janice Chiang and Saida Temofonte’s letters neatly punctuate the dialogue and captions.… (more)
