This is a fun little story that's basically a day in the life of a group of teenagers growing up in Jokertown. There's almost no action, and while some of the protagonists have physical advantages they're short of the superheroics we see from the Aces - the central character can run really fast, but only because of her whippet-like build, not because she's like the Flash or whomever. So what we get instead is social commentary on life as a joker, a slice-of-life that's more optimistic than that might normally imply (or that we'd normally see in a George RR Martin story). While jokers outside of Jokertown seem to be rarer here than implied in most other stories, it's a glimpse into a key part of the world from the eyes of somebody who is essentially a normal person - even if others don't always see her that way.
