I was pleasantly surprised with this one, I wasn’t really expecting much but I ended up quite enjoying it.
I loved the storytelling and how it went from young Harley to present day Harley, especially because I wasn’t aware of the background into HQ - especially her childhood, and as one of my favourite DC characters I really enjoyed getting to know about her a bit more.
I’m not a fan of the Joker at all, however in this I didn’t hate him as much as I normally do, but I think that’s down to getting to see a bit of his background too and what he was like in Arkham Asylum. I also enjoyed the addition of some side characters like Poison Ivy. And I very much enjoyed the Batman cameos.
The writing at times was a little iffy, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and I would recommend this book to DC fans and fans of Harley Quinn.
