A collection of one and two-part stories concluding Hope Larson's run, and with a couple of guest writers before Mairghread Scott takes over. There's no arc here, although there are some links back to earlier stories and... some work, and some don't. There's a comedy Christmas piece that doesn't make an awful lot of sense (and probably isn't meant to), some shenanigans with Penguin and Two-Face, and a story featuring a rather over-used plot device that at least does a reasonable job of showing us Larson's interpretation of Batgirl's persona. As it happens, Scott's story is possibly the strongest, although it's more of an interlude than a regular Batgirl tale, and only stands out by being different. But, while there's nothing truly bad in the collection, there's nothing particularly great, either... just a selection of short and largely forgettable sketches.
