Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J. Maas

Despite Sarah J. Maas being my favorite author, I was hesitant to read Catwoman since I am not a superhero fan. After deciding to go for it, I can honestly say that I don’t regret one minute I spent reading it and would recommend it to Maas fans, superhero fans, and romance lovers alike. Although it is technically the third book in the series sponsored by DC, it is plenty capable of standing alone (I didn’t read any of the others). Despite being a superhero story, it deals with racial and monetary inequalities tastefully. My only complaint about it is that Selina, the main character, is very similar to, though not as developed as, Maas’s other characters. Beyond that, the world and plot are very unique, I absolutely adore the love interest as well as Selina’s friends. The plot is thrilling, fast-paced, and captivated my attention from the first page to the last. It’s not a particularly deep or developed plot or world but that keeps it from getting too slow or wordy. It’s not the best fantasy-style novel I’ve ever read, but I still loved every minute of it and it’s unique in that it’s a great standalone novel.
