🌙 reviewed Shadow of the Batgirl by Sarah Kuhn
sweet and sincere reimagining of cassandra's story
5 stars
there's so much heart in this book it's actually difficult to convey through words lol. it's like if a typical coming of age story was combined with the craziness of parts of dc canon, even if much of dc canon doesn't appear here except for the general batgirl mythos. cassandra's difficulty with social skills and her trauma are beautifully illustrated (metaphorically and literally - the art is gorgeous here) and it was heartwarming to see her come into her own with the support of barbara and jackie
