4.25 rounded up. Loved the art! The teen angst of it all was excellent (both in the parent relationship / communication and the school situation, great friend dynamic, interesting exploration of second hand fame and second gen immigration, good coming-of-age origin story.

This overall was a fun story, about the daughter of a superhero who doesn't want to associate with her mother. I actually really enjoyed the art in this, even if the story wasn't quite all the way there. I think I just wanted a bit more character development. Still a fun, quick read though!

It's... fine. Not the worst thing in the world, like some people like to paint it as, but not mind-blowingly amazing either. Middle of the road coming-of-age story with some really cute Starfire looks thrown into the mix. I suppose I wouldn't not recommend it, especially if you're on the younger side of the spectrum (just beware of some cussing).
I guess the one thing that did annoy me was the main character's "not-like-other-girls" energy, but I think the book itself does fix this problem, so you know... mileage on how much of it you can take it might vary.
