The Oracle Code

Our first glimpses of Barbara Gordon is of her hacking with her best friend in the middle of the night and her daring attitude. After a shooting accident though (where she came running to help her father), you only see a few shattered moments of what happened.
The next time we see Barbara she's broken and dealing with being handicapped from the accident.

Its right off the bat got you worried and caring about the protagonist while trying to piece together everything as she moves into a special rehabilitation center specifically for handicapped kids.

And then Barbara starts to notice and come across some odd and concerning things during her stay- things no one else sees as a problem or gives different chilling responses to.


The plot and story were intriguing and had a good mystery and suspense-feel. Which honestly kept me going more than the main character for some of the book.
We piece things together bit by bit, stakes rise, and I really liked the ‘reveal' and climax part the absolute most!!

Some of the side characters I wasn't sure about at first, if they were secretly evil or what, but as I got farther in it became clear and I was rather happy with the outcomes!

There was really no mention of Batman or anything. It's strictly about Barbara and her overcoming the biggest obstacle that she thought was never supposed to happen to her.
Going in, I had wanted at least a mention of the superhero we all know but then I honestly am much happier without it taking over Barbara's spotlight story.

4 stars!!
