Raven has always been my favorite Teen Titan. I might or might not be guilty of watching the cartoon with my son at times. This was a wonderful novel and I am so happy that I was able to see it!

A great origin story with beautiful artwork and amazing writing. Recommended for any library collection school or public. I am truly impressed with the way DC has branched out into the YA market.

ARC provided by Netgalley and the Publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this. The art was done great. I love Teen Titans so when I seen this one - I knew it was a must! I think Kami did a great job! I highly recommend!

I enjoyed this allot! I can only imagine how awesome it will look in color! Parts were slow but overall great! Thank you Netgalley for a free ARC IN exchange for an honest review!

I really enjoyed this version of Raven because she is one of my favorite Teen Titans. The drawing style was easy to follow and while there were moments that seemed to lag, I enjoyed the overall storytelling.

Really cute book, the best of the DC Ink books so far. Doesn't try to preach, just let's Raven be herself and that includes her flaws.

I got an eARC of this graphic novel ON RELEASE DAY, so that was a little weird. Most of the things I’ve heard people say about this book weren’t favorable, but I quite enjoyed it. Raven was always my favorite Teen Titan, and I really enjoyed the flavor of this origin story for her. 4 stars.

I didn't get to read this on time, but I bet it was glorious. Thanks so much to NEtgalley for providing this ARC copy.

I enjoyed this one much more than the others I've read so far this year. I loved getting a back story for Raven. The illustrations were fabulous! The story was well thought out and executed fairly well.

An easy read for fans of action and suspense. This will be one that will leave the shelves quickly in our schools library. Especially since there is a female character on the cover which leads to the idea that goes can be strong and independent too.

Originally I got an ARC of this digitally before it's publish date. Unfortunately it seemed that the file I was sent was corrupted because I was unable to open it on any device.
In any case I've finally gotten my hands on a copy and I'm ready to review! Right off the bat (I swear it's hardly a pun) I am immediately drawn in my the art, with stark contrast from muted to bright colors, each panel is really captured in a way that evokes the emotion of the moment. I like the newness of this story coupled with Raven's OG backstory as well as that little modern feminist flair! I really enjoyed my read and can't wait to meet the rest of the gang throughout the series!

*I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

As a fan of of both the original Teen Titans show and Teen Titans Go!, I was super excited to receive a copy of this graphic novel! I also LOVE Gabriel Picolo's work. While I felt that the story was a little too juvenile overall, Picolo's art really kept the book flowing for me. I can't wait for the next installment!

This graphic novel is a great look into the start of a wonderful series. I am so excited for the rest of the series. Teen Titans Raven deals with the question of change and transformation, family and memories. Can Raven ever truly be the exact same person as before? While she's making new friends and uncovering secrets, Raven is tasked with knowing both the darkness and the light. Her choices and those around her, illustrate the nature of free will - are we forced into making these choices?

Kami Garcia gives the reader a different take on Raven from Teen Titans. The book opens with Raven losing her foster mom in a car accident and her memory. Most of the rest of the book deals with her learning what she is, who she is from, and how to cope with her abilities. There is romance, betrayal, and confrontation. But Raven is not alone, she has her foster mom's sister and daughter to help along with other New Orleans help in the fight with her dad that makes Prom Night so memorable. Be interesting to see where Raven goes next.

*spoilers*

Beautiful introduction to Raven from Teen Titans, exploring how she fits in amongst other teenagers not threatened by demonic parents. Love the her friend helping her adjust and how Raven deals with loss along with her own memory challenges. Picolo’s art drives a lot of emotion into each scene and the details of environment help inform so much of Raven’s journey throughout as well. Looking forward to learning more about this Raven and her friends and seeing how she rises to the next challenges she faces

The book starts with Raven ominously mentioning her learning something about herself when she gets in a car crash, leaving the readers confused and sets Raven's journey back several steps. 

Raven keeps hearing a voice compelling her to do horrible things to the people around her, which is only made worse by the fact that Raven seems to have the ability to will things into happening. When a popular girl is a jerk to Raven, she wishes that the girl would get hurt, and she does. 

The voice starts getting more and more intense, and Raven begins seeing a large raven silhouette and having dreams of events that are actually happening. On top of it all, there's this guy who's flirting nonstop with her at school.

The book is a fairly quick read, since it is a graphic novel. Speaking of that, the drawings are absolutely stunning. The book ended on a bit of a cliffhanger and now I have to wait a million months until the sequel?? I can't wait. 

I'm also glad the book chose to focus more on the themes of family and sisterhood, as opposed to the love interest that's introduced later on in the novel. I'm extremely glad Raven never ditches her sister for the new guy, and in fact, does the opposite. 

The only thing I was disappointed by was the fact that Raven's story fell short in this book. Raven is so much more than what this book depicts her as, so keep in mind this is more of an origin story and a graphic novel, not a regular novel. 

Overall, I loved this book and it's definitely something I would reread constantly, so 5/5.

This follows a 17 year old Raven as she is in a tragic accident and loses her memory. As she makes new friends at her new high school and connects with her foster sister she starts to discover who she is and her powers become active.

I loved this graphic novel.. It was the perfect blend of YA slice of Life, but about such a powerful superhero and Teen Titans. I loved the art style and felt it complimented the story so well..

I was pretty excited for my first look at this book. I was already somewhat familiar with Raven's origins, so I was intrigued to see the presentation. You know have to know anything to enjoy this book, though. In fact, it might be more exiting if you were to go in blind. I really liked the inclusion of voodoo, the exploration of the spirit world and psychic powers.

Let me start by saying that I am a HUGE fan of the OG Teen Titans tv show. While this graphic novel doesn't follow the same humor lines or the same backstories as the show, it still managed to carry the same vibe. It's a super quick read and readers get bits and pieces of what is going to get revealed next in the chapters leading up to it. Something that always bothered me in the show was that while Raven's reasons for severe emotional control were touched on in one episode, they very rarely come up outside of that episode. This graphic novel did a great job of explaining why it's so important for Raven to remain in control and what can happen if she can't. I would have liked to see a little bit more in-depth exploration of Raven's travel into high school and the relationships she makes but maybe that will happen in the next volume?

10 out of 10! Raven is my favorite of the Teen Titans and when i heard this book was coming out, it had made me skeptical, but i finished it and I LOVED IT! It really brought my favorite character more to life!
