Somewhat of cliffhanger bit here. The new art isn't quite to my taste. But I still enjoy being with my kick ass ladies.
I agree with some of the other reviewers that the cast here is really too big to focus on everyone, the art isn't as good as it was before, and a few characters' hair randomly change colors so I was all ready to rate this four stars ...buuuuuuuut ...I DON'T EVEN CARE I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH? And that letter to the fans at the end! ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡
I would love to see some more on a few characters that got overlooked here in the next volume, but overall I am still loving this and I just can't believe we have an ongoing series about an entire ship of queer lady pirates that is written so well. It's clear that Whitley really cares about his characters and his audience and I am continually amazed at his ability to write characters so far from his own life experience and write them so well.

A well-paced and tension-filled instalment in the journey.

I don't know, Raven is still somehow messing up as a captain and keeps letting Katie be in charge. I get that's why Katie is there but when shot goes down, Raven should be leading?
Raven’s second year as ship captain begins. But when a celebration is cut short by an attack, the crew is tested and finds relationships flourish – and suffer.
I cannot even get into my review without squealing for joy that the ads have disappeared from these volumes!! I was overjoyed to find all 128 pages of this book full of Raven and her crew with a poignant author’s note (and a heartfelt promise to his readers) as well as several progression views from the artist.
And now we get to see what this crew is made of! While the story begins with a riotous celebration with food and dancing, it is interrupted by an attack from another ship. Swords fly, bodies bleed, men tumble, our female crew is tested, and relationships complicate. Now, this is why I love these characters: tremendous strength and friendship from a solid crew of women of every ethnicity and sexuality.

Fun and action packed! Plus this is the start of a couple of fun mysterious storylines. What is going on with Helena? Plus Sunshine?!

Raven the Pirate Princess is an amazing series of stories with a wide diverse range of lady characters. Book four is a dramatic arc which has the women of the crew deal with some massive loss, drama, and romance. The narrative is gripping and had me engaged the whole time. There was so many lovely things going on and and the creative team goes a great job balancing it's large cast to give everyone moments.
The art by Xenia Pamfil is amazing, the diverse body shapes and expressive faces make for really lived characters. She manages to really make great use of light and color to make for a powerful comic.
I had a few issues with some narrative choices, a bit of the dialogue and all that but overall this is a really great story. I think any little complaint can be overwritten by the amazing voice each character gets.
Also its hella queer and I love it.

I just really really really really really really like this series.
While the authors note at the end was nice I am supremely disappointed by the changed art style. Everyone has matching winged eyeliner and their mouths all look the same. Most of them don’t even look like their original designs.
