I have a love hate relationship with this series, on the one hand I love the Titans and this take on their origins offers alot of good characterization and concepts. However, sometimes the plot falls flat when the focus becomes on romances and relationships. While I didn't really enjoy the two previous entries, this volume was a great return to what made the first volumes so fun. I like this more serious side of Starfire that we see, and the inclusion of her disability gives her an extra bit of nuance that sometimes her character lacks. This volume renewed my interest in the series and lm looking forward to the next one.

Thank you to NetGalley, DC, DC Comics, Kami Garcia, and Gabriel Picolo for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have always been a Teen Titans fan, and I absolutely love where these new origin stories are going and what they are leading up to. This volume features Kori (Starfire) and her sister in a new origin. There is definitely some sister rivalry, but not too much beyond the sisterly norm...at first...

But once they start coming into their powers and H.I.V.E. gets involved, Kori and Kira are of opposing mindsets. Working with Vic, Kori's suspicions of H.I.V.E. not being what it says to be are confirmed when the rest of the titans show up at her doorstep with plenty of evidence against the organization.

I enjoy the fact that all the characters have either just finished high school or are in college, making them older and more mature than the traditional titans, opening up different opportunities for readers of an older crowd. I love how they incorporated Cyborg. The art is gorgeous, and I appreciate how the internal thought dialogue boxes are color-coded based on the character. I found the writing and form of this particular installment to be the best of the collection by far, and I am excited to see where this leads now that the team is together.

Sisters Kira and Kori Anders are working at a summer job at a country club. Their mother is marrying Kira's uncle and doesn't have much time for them. They both start developing powers, but don't tell each other. Kira thinks Kori is jealous because her powers are stronger, and won't listen to Kori when she tells her things don't feel right. Raven, Gar, Damien, Dick, and Max finally find Kori and they all agree to take down Slade together.

This was such a fun book! i absolutely adored every single thing! the characters, the plot, the writing, the cover! it was such a wonderful book! definitely adding this to my collection

I am a big fan of the Teen Titans, and Starfire has always been one of my favorites of that gang. I really enjoyed this graphic novel. I have some of the previous books in this series by Kami Garcia and have enjoyed them all. Her writing is great and the illustrations are wonderful.
It was really interesting to read about a person with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS). I knew nothing about this, but am wanting to find out more.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series!

A nice continuation to the series. Starfire is a wonderful addition to the team and like the changes made to her origins. Her have EDS was some nice representation. Victors inclusion is also nice and I love how no one in the book really draws attention to his cyborg parts, they are just seen as a part of him. I am looking forward to the next instalment.

Starfire is the latest addition to Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo Teen Titan series and I loved every minute of it! This is hands down my favorite comic series! Every time I see the next one announced, I obsess over it until release day. The OG Teen Titans show was/is my favorite, so to see the story reimagined with such beautiful artwork warms my cynical heart. I will consume EVERYTHING that Gabriel Picolo creates, sight unseen. His Instagram has such special sneak peaks into the lives of our Titans that I want to crawl inside and live there! Has this issue come out yet? No. Am I already anxiously awaiting the next installment? Obviously.

I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH!!!! I super appreciate being able to read this as an ARC.

The art is flawless, as always. I also just adored getting to see Kori and her discovery of her powers, and her tension with her sister. I can’t wait to see how it all ties together, and I really can’t wait to have a copy soon to add to the series on my shelf.

I will be gushing about this one for a while!

Kori got a job at the country club her older sister works at, but doesn’t fit in with any of her coworkers. She’s much rather be gazing at the stars and is a homebody in large part to the Ehlers Danlos Syndrome she has which causes her muscles to fatigue quickly. Kira, on the other hand, is popular, gorgeous and has a hot boyfriend that Kori isn’t a fan of. When Kira goes to a big pharmaceutical company that her boyfriend’s uncle is the CEO of thanks to secret powers she’s just inherited, Kori’s own powers begin surfacing as well. When a group of teens show up to warn Kori of the dangers of the company and their intentions, the sisters’ relationship fractures apart as Kori and Kira choose opposing sides.

Another winner by this creative duo! Of course we get a cliffhanger, but I can wait forever for more because this series is just chef’s kiss. The artwork, the coloring, the teen angst, relationships, friendships and backstories are all just amazing. My students can’t get enough of these characters. No notes whatsoever! This title releases November 5!

I would like the Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo treatment for all my fav superheroes please! I used to think that nothing would ever make me feel the way about the Teen Titans that the cartoon show did, but I'm so thankful for the care that this series gives the characters. They feel so real and relatable while still being heroes. I can't wait for more!
