Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
As a low key SJM fan, I was pretty excited for this book. SJM did a great job introducing us to to the main character and right on up until Catwoman met her love interest. I was all the way in. Respect for Maas addressing racial profiling and implicit bias in law enforcement. Thank you queen 👑. After that though, my interest in the book totally waned and I found myself struggling to finish. Perhaps DC stories are better told on screen or in a comic/graphic novel. The rest of the plot was run of the mill DC and despite SJM’s efforts, I couldn’t stay connected. Perhaps that’s no fault of the writer an more about the cheesiness and predictability of these plots. Had this been her own original novel, I’m pretty sure she would have amped this up a bit more.
