I ended up accidentally reading this series out of order, and began with the Beast Boy book instead. I had no prior familiarity with the Teen Titans beyond the surface level, and was able to follow both books fine despite the mix up and lack of other knowledge.

I enjoyed the art style and simple color palette!

The plot is a little predictable, thanks to the need to be an origin story and the younger target demographic. The side characters aren't terribly fleshed out, and I think this installment suffers from a lot of the problems as Beast Boy's story, in that the primary function is to have them discover their powers and leave home to meet each other. 

I'm a little hesitant about the inclusion of Louisiana Voodoo, and the way it is kind of lumped in with the superhero powers and Raven's supernatural heritage, given that I don't believe the author is from this background herself. I have been looking for own-voices reviews addressing this concern, and will edit this review to link any that I find.

Overall not a new favorite, but I'm still interested in continuing with future installments.
