Harley Quinn Ravenous by Rachael Allen review


 Title: Harley Quinn Ravenous


Author: Rachael Allen


Ch: 50


Pg: 368


Series: DC Icons:Harley Quinn 2


Genre: retelling comic


Rating: 4 stars


Publisher: Random house

Harley Quinn Ravenous picks up where Harley Quinn Reckoning left off and Harley is now a college freshman. I loved reading about her adventures in college. And I’m even happier that the joker only makes an appearance as a side character. So no no Harley Quinn abuse by joker in sight. I refuse to call it a relationship.

 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Harley Quinn: Reckoning by Rachel Allen Review

 


Title: Harley Quinn: Reckoning 


Author: Rachel Allen


Ch: 49 plus epilogue


Pg: 391


Series: DC Icons: Harley Quinn


Genre: retelling comic


Rating: 4 stars


Publisher: Random House

I have to say Harley Quinn is one of my favorite DC anti-heroes. I don’t consider her a villain though others might. But I enjoyed this one because it gives her a back story as a teenager in Gotham with ADHD which actually makes sense considering comic Harley. It was a quick read.

Black Canary Breaking silence by Alexandra Monir

Title: Black Canary Breaking Silence  

Author:  Alexandra Monir

Ch: 23 plus epilogue

Pg:  384

Series: DC Icons book 5

Genre:  Comic characters retelling

Rating: 4.5 stars

Publisher: Random house books for young readers

 

Black Canary Breaking Silence by Alexandra Monir is the 5th book On the DC Icons series and I have to say it’s my favorite of the series. Which surprised me as Black Canary was never on my radar as a DC character. But Dinah Lance was awesome in this one. A book that looks at Gotham in a future without Batman and heroes. A Gotham in which women are second class citizens.

But Dinah not going to be silent she’s going to fight back with the help of friends new and old. I’ve also haven’t been and Oliver Queen fan mainly because of the TV show but in this book we get the Oliver Queen we deserve along with the awesome librarian Barbara Gordon.

If this is the end of the DC Icon series then it was an awesome end.
