This was good, but there's a lot going on and they just added a Ra's al ghul element. I'm curious how they'll wrap it up in 2 episodes

Good, and an ok ending to the volume. It's not a huge cliffhanger, but it definitely sets it up for an interesting beginning of the second volume

This was SUCH a good book! It was light and sweet, but also did a great job of developing character arcs. I really loved all the little nods to the Disney movie!!

This is just same old boring "modern" batman. The one where he can't have any relationships for no good reason and the one where's he's focused on violence (or in his words "war"). There's no compassion. No humanity. No reason for him to actually by fighting except they think it will be a good action story.

Really good, short anthology. I hadn't heard of several of the stories, and I especially liked the inclusion of the one from India. I also liked that the author included a brief history (2 paragraphs) before each one

Such a good ending to the series!!! I loved how they kind of did a tour of the dragon couples from her dragon ever after series. It was such a good wrap up but a also a really good story in and of itself!

I read a book that takes place later in this series and decided to go back and read the beginning. The book I read was super funny and light hearted. These early books are a little more edgy (kidnappings, abusive past partners, etc.).
