Harley Quinn: Reckoning by Rachael Allen
5.0
Yeah, this was fun. Women is STEM smashing the patriarchy - ok sign me up - and it's a Harley Quinn origin story - just take my money.
There were some really clever explanations for some of the iconic elements of Harley's character. There were a few places where I was like eehh that's kinda annoying but at the same time that is totally something Harley would do.
Not going to lie, the sexual assault parts were hard (content warning for that), but just like the characters I got super angry at the injustice of it all, so when they started their vigilante justice I was all for it. My only other critique would be the time jumps. The chapter headings do have dates on them but I was reading on an e-reader and flipping back to check the other dates for continuity was a bit inconvenient.
All in all just a really fun read and I would definitely recommend this book and not just to Harley fans!
