This book looked so promising. From the stunning cover to the topic (prohibition gotham pocket universe?!!) to the description on the back cover. And it simply does not live up. The vast majority of the book is spent building up the plot. This book could have easily have been under 100 pages and still gotten the story across and likely would have been better for it. There is so much potential for this story. It was a great idea and setting but it was not executed very well.
