1) It was told in​ 3rd person Point Of View​, because it said he, she, 
him, her and the character’s name.

2018-ish, and also in the fictional city of Gotham. The city 
is partly based on New York City.

by the end, she became someone of unspeakable 
perseverance. While Luke was a person that struggled 
under his ​PTSD​, but gradually overcame his traumatic 
memories.

People sometimes go to extremes to save their families.  
This is specifically applying to Selina, because she did everything she 
could to save her sister, who was suffering from ​Cystic Fibrosis​. A 
disease that affects the lungs and other places. It makes breathing 
really difficult, and is also incurable. The League tried to kill Selina for 
trying to use the ​most valuable weapon​ to save her sister. Selina even 
killed for the survival of her sister.

D) Evaluation of the Book 
1) Strengths: ​The novel had many strengths. One being the 
narrative the author chose. Using the League was a wise choice, 
since they’re such a good Batman villain. Another strength being 
that Selina had a much more interesting role than I anticipated. 
I really liked how the author showed us that even Selina can be 
related to.   
2) Weaknesses: ​The novel also had a prominent weakness amongst 
its characters. I really hated that Poison Ivy was too humane. In 
every other form of media, whether it’s comics, or even video 
games, Ivy hated humanity, because of how they experimented 
on her. But, she liked specific humans, one being Selina, and 
another being Harley Quinn. But, in the novel, she was way too 
friendly to everyone, even from the beginning.
