This was a big improvement from the Raven comic. I really enjoyed the cast of characters, and the plot seemed like there was a little more thought put into it. Again, it feels like the author is really underestimating younger readers. There’s a lot of cliche high school angst which isn’t a problem considering it’s YA, but none of it is explored particularly well. The author makes some weird choices, like shaming kill shelters and then praising peta ??? which I feel is a bit harmful considering how surface level these topics are brought up. It just felt weird. 
Overall though, I’m happy it seems like the series is going in a better direction.
