But then why bother including a paragraph about how he’s constantly being pulled over by the cops because he’s driving an expensive car. Now although this is true of the comic character, unlike the references above, it’s not just there to be “trendy”. There’s also a “big deal” made about the fact that Batwing is rich and black, I say big deal, it’s mentioned completely out of context of the plot several times. I just found it totally bizarre that it was even described and mentioned.

I mean how is it relevant, they aren’t even main characters, they are minor at best, why bother with the explanation. I mean I’m all for LGBT themes in YA but when a character is introduced for the sake of it… *Eye roll* well of course her sister’s adoptive parents are gay and of COURSE they are of ethnic origin as well just for good measure. Maybe I read too much of the stuff but there appears to be a trend of adding LGBT characters for the sake of it. I seem to do more and more eye rolling when reading YA at the moment. It’s a bit like Sarah J Maas was given a character and thought, NOPE, I prefer writing about this other character thanks! What I loathed about it I suppose a slight negative to this was that I preferred Batwings chapters a lot more…. I loved that the story moved from the perspective of two different characters rather than it just focusing on Selina.

Wonderman wasn’t one of my favourite reads but as my main issue had been not really knowing much “back story” going into the book I thought I knew a little more about C atwoman, and that maybe I should give it a chance. But with a dangerous threat from the past on her tail, will she be able to pull off the heist that’s closest to her heart? Why did I pick it?
