    I love polyamory romance, and this one is really well written. I just wish we got more scenes with Gisela and Aleksey, and more moments with all three together. Most of the times it was only Kazik and Gisela or Kazik and Aleksey.

    Gisela and Kazik’s relationship felt the most developed, while their feelings for Aleksey stayed kind of shallow, probably because Aleksey is still hiding who he really is.

    I also didn’t know this was a series. It lowkey didn’t need to be, but I’ll still read the sequel. Hopefully it comes out soon

    I love Batgirl 2000! It was my first comic series, and I still think it was very well written. It follows Cassandra Cain as Batgirl and she’s my favorite DC character. I love her relationship dynamics with her birth parents and the parallels between her relationship with them and with Bruce Wayne/Batman. Despite being adopted, she’s literally Bruce’s clone in so many ways. She pushed herself so hard to save people and felt guilty for every person she failed to save. That unhealthy hero complex was explored more in depth throughout the series and it was just so good.

    I personally think Batgirl 2000 is a good starting point if you want to read more about the Batfamily. Cassandra Cain also has an ongoing series, Batgirl 2024, and a one-shot in the Absolute series, which I also highly recommend!

  • Comic recommendations!

    I recently got into comic books (thanks to my Daredevil hyperfixation) and would love to hear about your recommendations. What are your favourite stories or characters? Starting out feels confusing when there’s so much to choose from! I’ll happily get some recs from y’all 🤍
