This was fine, very underwhelming. If you were born in the late 90s or early 2000s and the animated show is where you know the teen titans from, please know that it seems like the author is going to be making the characters her own. Raven is not at all like her character in the show. The story is really cliche and there’s a lot of teenage angst and “boy drama.” I looove how diverse the characters are, and I liked the setting of New Orleans. Max was a nice side character. I knew about this series because I’ve been a fan of Gabriel Picolo and I love teen titans, and I hadn’t read the synopsis for this. I really don’t understand why this has an amnesia plot….felt like it was underestimating the readers. This is YA, but that doesn’t mean that everything needs to be spelled out. This feels more like it’s written for older middle schoolers rather than for high schoolers. I’m definitely pretty disappointed in this but I’m going to continue the series cause I’ve really be looking forward to reading “Beast Boy Loves Raven.”
