Barda
Barda | Ngozi Ukazu
1 post | 1 read
Darkseid is...and life on Apokolips is tough--but then, it is hell after all. And no one knows this better than Barda, Granny Goodness's right hand warrior. But Barda has a secret...she is in love. Or she is drawn to the idea of it anyway, whether it be the beauty of a flower, her affection for her closest friend, Aurelie, or the mysterious and fierce enemy warrior, Orion, who is the only match for Barda's strength. But when Granny decides Barda is becoming too soft, she assigns Barda a task that might be more than she can handle--to break the seemingly unbreakable Scott Free. And as Barda questions why Scott has such hope and what he might have done to promote such hatred from Granny, she finds herself drawn to him in a way she never expected. The only thing is, we do not speak of love on Apokolips... Join #1 New York Times bestselling author-illustrator NGOZI UKAZU (Check, Please) as she takes readers on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, deep friendships, and first loves!

On a planet where love is forbidden, Barca believes herself to be in love. When she shows mercy to one of her teammates, she must prove her loyalty by breaking a prisoner.

I love Ukazu‘s style! The settings, the diversity in characters‘ shapes/style. I wasn‘t lost, even though these are established DC characters. The manipulation/gaslighting of Granny was perfectly malicious. & it‘s ultimately a story of hope, even w/ an open ending. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
