About this listen
The New York Times best-selling series!
DC Icons continues with the first-ever YA origin story of superhero Black Canary, from the internationally best-selling author Alexandra Monir. In this thrilling novel, Dinah Lance's voice is her weapon. And in a near-future world where women have no rights, she won't hesitate to use everything she has - including her song - to fight back.
Dinah Lance was eight years old when she overheard the impossible: the sound of a girl singing. It was something she was never meant to hear - not in her lifetime and not in Gotham City, taken over by the vicious, patriarchal Court of Owls. The sinister organization rules Gotham City as a dictatorship and has stripped women of everything - their right to work, to make music, to learn, to be free.
Now 17, Dinah can't forget that haunting sound, and she's beginning to discover that her own voice is just as powerful. But singing is forbidden - a one-way route to a certain death sentence. Fighting to balance her father's desire to keep her safe, a blossoming romance with mysterious new student Oliver Queen, and her own need to help other women and girls rise up, Dinah wonders if her song will finally be heard. And will her voice be powerful enough to destroy the Court of Owls once and for all?

What drives the Man Without Fear? Matt Murdock was raised by a single father, an over-the-hill prizefighter with one last chance to make good - a chance that cost him his life. Taunted and tormented by other children, Matt's life was irrevocably altered after he was blinded by radioactive materials while saving the life of an old man. The payoff? An unbreakable will and a keen intelligence, helping focus the super-senses with which he was blessed during the accident. His story is one of love, pain, disappointment, and strength.

Hey, hey, book lovers, take off those big thick glasses - this is Deadpool speaking! Sorry Marvel, somethin' happened to your copy guy. Anyway, this is my first prose novel, and they got this dude Stefan Petrucha to write it. He's good people. He's written novels and comics. But here's the thing: This book is about dogs. Dogs that turn into big nasty monsters. And then I gotta kill 'em. Thing is, I like killing people - the ones that deserve it, anyway - but I won't kill dogs. So that's what we call a character dilemma.

"Dinah is a powerful protagonist, vibrating with a youthful rage and energy familiar to readers itching for revolution of any kind. Monir never shies away from her tale’s unfortunately pertinent sociopolitical implications, putting a refreshing spin on the feminist dystopia. ... Sure to resonate in today’s volatile climate."—Kirkus Reviews

It's no easy job being the town nutcase. Ella knows from experience. She's grown up in a quaint little place with people who pretend the extraordinary isn't happening around them. They ignore the bumps in the night and won't talk about doors closing by themselves or items moving mysteriously. They also won't talk about the old woman who haunts the streets. Those who do are fibbers, begging for attention. But Ella knows it is no lie - when the lightning cracks and the rain thrashes, someone goes missing: a child, lost to the night.

Story
It's no easy job being the town nutcase. Ella knows from experience. She's grown up in a quaint little place with people who pretend the extraordinary isn't happening around them. They ignore the bumps in the night and won't talk about doors closing by themselves or items moving mysteriously. They also won't talk about the old woman who haunts the streets. Those who do are fibbers, begging for attention. But Ella knows it is no lie - when the lightning cracks and the rain thrashes, someone goes missing: a child, lost to the night.

Story
A self-centered healer, Stephen Strange is arrogant, but it's almost justified. After all, he is one of the best surgeons in the country. However, that all takes a dark turn following a horrific car crash. The doctor survives but at a great cost: his hands are irreparably damaged, and he can no longer perform surgery. No doctor can help him. Nor can faith healers or gurus. Nearing the end of his rope, he seeks out mystic help from the Ancient One, a man rumoured to possess unearthly talents.

Hey, hey, book lovers, take off those big thick glasses - this is Deadpool speaking! Sorry Marvel, somethin' happened to your copy guy. Anyway, this is my first prose novel, and they got this dude Stefan Petrucha to write it. He's good people. He's written novels and comics. But here's the thing: This book is about dogs. Dogs that turn into big nasty monsters. And then I gotta kill 'em. Thing is, I like killing people - the ones that deserve it, anyway - but I won't kill dogs. So that's what we call a character dilemma.

Wow! Loved this book!
As a superhero tv and movie fan, I instantly loved this book with all the twists and turns. A great book about female empowerment in the face of a toxic patriarchy. Dinah Laurel Lance is a likable protagonist with a lot of heart and potential. Thrilling story for sure!

DC's version of 1984
The story itself isn't bad. This written specifically with women in mind. The young heroine finds herself with handsome young prince at her side. I had trouble relating with the character. The story is full of things that a female would relate with better.

Good story. Unbelievable Gotham
The story was good, characters were good, narration wasn't the best but not bad. My issue was with Gotham in the big picture. There's no way a city can become an independent dictatorship and still be a part of the country.

I want a sequel
Black Canary: Breaking Silence is inspiring, empowering, a little heart breaking but overall a fun read. A origin story with a twist. Dinah Lance, a 17 year old High school student in a dystopian Gotham City. Where there’s no superhero’s and the GCPD is basically powerless. The city is controlled by the Court of Owls and their minions the Talons to make sure everyone follows the rules, especially women. Women are controlled with pretty much everything they do. But who will stand up to the Court of Owls?
I love audiobooks especially with good narrators. Kathleen McInereny did a really good job. I just wished for the singing part she sung but no worries.

Great audiobook with strong female leads!
I really enjoyed this audio book. The narrator is stellar, and I like that they introduced less known DC characters and had empowering female leads that with a good storyline.

Didn't like the narration
Didn't like the narration. She made the female characters sound like five year olds...all the SAME five year olds. Story was also slow to get moving. Couldn't finish it.

like American Idol tryouts (😒)
Will this get better??
I anticipated this book to continue the DC storyline that are few. The plot as well as climax left much to be desired, especially with the characters brought in to support the story; nearly handcuffed and handicapping them to this narrative.
Not nearly as enjoyable as WW: Warbringer, Catwoman: Soulstealer, or Batman: Nightwalker stories that preceeded.

Enchanting
This back story on the black canary has been one of my favorites in this series.
I love that she learned she has had the power all along.
My least favorite part of this book is the violence… but it is a DC Legend, so I knew to expect it.
My favorite part is canary working with the green arrow…

Black Canary sings a unique tune!!
When it comes to DC material, especially involving the Batman world, I will most likely give a shot. This is part of the reason I checked this one out, also I am a fan of Black Canary. At first it feels very YA and kinda teen drama in dystopian era Gotham, but once you really get into the story it is really good. Of course, being a fan of the DC Universe, I had to get pass certain inaccuracies like Batman dying of old age before second Black Canary is born when she and Oliver are suppose to be the same age as Batman. Still, how Dinah discovers herself as a hero and how her relationship with Oliver develops is pretty well done. Also, the realistic idea of women having pretty much no rights and power due to a shadow organization like the Court of Owls is intriguing and engaging. All and all, if you are a fan of both the character and the surrounding universe, or of dystopian sci-fi stuff, it is definitely worth checking out.

Great audio adaptation of a comic book!
I really enjoyed this book. Wish there were a sequel to this. If you like DC comics and Black Canary and Green Arrow you will absolutely like it.
