My one complaint is that there isn’t a second book to Raven’s story (from what I know). At less than 200 pages, you’ll fly through the story but not too fast. Sometimes, I find that graphic novels can either be too short or drag on forever. The length of the novel was pretty good as well.

You wonder, why is she having these vivid nightmares? They’re clearly not just dreams, but if they aren’t, then what are they and why are they happening? She’s not sure whether or not she wants to know about her past because of these nightmares, and the reader can’t help wonder the same thing. Raven lost her memory in a car crash, and she keeps on having these reoccurring nightmares ever since. I’m sure it’s much more special for those who grew up with the series, but I still loved the story and the artwork (more on that later).Īs for the story itself, I think it was the perfect blend of mystery, teen angst, and high school romance. You honestly don’t have to know anything about Raven to read and enjoy this graphic novel because it covers her backstory before she joined her gang. ^^ All the Teen Titans fans judging me right now Basically, I was going into this Teen Titan novel blind. I do know a tad bit about the series and its characters through the internet, but nothing extensive.

That being said, I didn’t watch Teen Titans whenever it came out on TV unless I was at a friend’s house and it happened to be airing. I never really grew up with a TV because my family didn’t have cable when I was growing up (it’s part of the reason I love reading so much now because there was nothing else to do around the house). And when impossible things start happening, Raven begins to think it might even be better not to know who she was before.īut as she grows closer to her new friends, her foster sister, Max, and Tommy Torres, a guy who accepts her for who she is now, Raven has to decide if she’s ready to face what’s buried in the past…and the darkness building inside her.įrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia and first-time graphic novel artist Gabriel Picolo comes this riveting tale of finding the strength to face who you are and learning to trust others–and yourself.
