Rating: 3/5
The City of Owls continues the Court of Owls storyline. Batman starts at a low point as he begins to take the fight to this organization, rather than simply reacting to them.
I felt like there were some gaps in the story. The book just wasn't cohesive to me. It seemed to jump from plot point to plot point with not enough segue in between. Toward the end this isn't as bad because there is more focus for Batman.
The reveal toward the end and the justification for it are pretty good too. The creators are great at making the story engaging. They understand Batman and the mythos in general to keep things moving, even through some parts that I found less interesting.
Definitely worth reading for Batman fans or anyone interested in the Court of Owl story. It branches into some other series so someone could encounter elsewhere first, but the Scott Snyder books contain the meat of it all.
