Teen Titans: Starfire by Kami Garcia
4.25
Thanks for arc copy!
I love what they did with Kori and Kira. They felt like young women going through college and had opposing personalities. I felt like I could relate to both sisters since they went from being best friends to being strangers. Kira wanted to be with her boyfriend and go out to party while Kori wanted to stay inside, look at the stars, or read her books. I liked how the author chose to go about their conflict. I hope Kira doesn't become a full time villain as you can tell she's seriously been manipulated by the boy she loves and sees people that she's admired hurting. Even her inferiority complex and jealousy issues felt real as I felt like most sisters have felt that between each other at least one time in their life.
I also feel for Kori. While I am the eldest sibling, Kori really tried to be different for her sister in order to fit into her lifestyle and I felt sad not seeing Kira make the same effort with Kori's hobbies... Kori really tried looking out for her sister and it seems like they only really had each other as their mom was practically non- existent.
My favorite part of the book had to be when Dick and Kori finally met. Hehehehehehe.... I felt like a school girl with a high school crush. Seeing them interact and meet was the CUTEST THING EVER! I hope to see their relationship develop even more in future books as the author really made both characters seem into each other which is really nice when you compare it to old comics or the old animated teen titans show.
However... as much as it pains me.... I will be knocking off some points because of how dirty the author chose to introduce cyborg... or Vic.... Bro didn't even get his own book... I hope the author will give him a proper solo book in the future but they literally just slapped him into the book and said, "Here... be happy with this raggedy bread crumbs." LIKE NO... JUSTICE FOR MY BOI CYBORG.
Overall rating: 4.25
