This book may be confusing for readers not familiar with general DC history or basic nightwing history like his relationship with Babs or Starfire. 
I generally liked the way that Dick was written but I didnt like the heavyhandedness of the narrative about the reason hes been struggling to keep a relationship. I also wish we had gotten more scenes with nightwing and vigilante together.
