#Discussion: Book Recommendations Based on TITANS Characters

23 January 0 Comments
I spent this weekend binge watching TITANS on Netflix, the start to the Netflix DCU Canon. I am now obsessed. So obviously I want to talk about it and am going to do so the only way I know how. I will be giving you 3 book recommendations based on each of the main Titans in the show! Also, I love that this show is deeply flawed but shows people being and acting realistically, so if you haven't seen it yet, definitely watch it!

RAVEN

Rachel Roth, also known as the Raven, is a girl with lethal dark magical powers. She is half-human, half-demon, but all magic. Young, impressionable, and full of raw power, Raven is by far the strongest of the Titans. As a comment on the show TITANS, how much did they pay to have snippets of Game of Thrones in there?

If you want to read like Raven...


STARFIRE

Kory Anders, aka Starfire, is an alien from the planet Tamaran. She was sent to Earth to "secure" Raven but she lost her memory and ended up befriending her instead. Definitely the biggest badass mother fucker on the team, I loved this version of Starfire in TITANS.

ARC REVIEW: TITANS by Victoria Scott

30 May 2 Comments

TITANS

Author: Victoria Scott
Source: Traded for an ARC
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Publication Date: February 23, 2016
Rating: 3/5 stars

 Summary:
Ever since the Titans first appeared in her Detroit neighborhood, Astrid Sullivan’s world has revolved around the mechanical horses. She and her best friend have spent countless hours watching them and their jockeys practice on the track. It’s not just the thrill of the race. It’s the engineering of the horses and the way they’re programmed to seem so lifelike. The Titans are everything that fascinates Astrid, and nothing she’ll ever touch.

 She hates them a little, too. Her dad lost everything betting on the Titans. And the races are a reminder of the gap between the rich jockeys who can afford the expensive machines to ride, and the working class friends and neighbors of Astrid’s who wager on them.

 But when Astrid’s offered a chance to enter an early model Titan in this year’s derby, well, she decides to risk it all. Because for a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, it’s more than a chance at fame or money. Betting on herself is the only way she can see to hang on to everyone in the world she cares about.

Disclaimer: I read an ARC of this that I traded with Aly!

 Okay so I really enjoyed this one. I thought it was a good mix of action and familial relationships and there was no unnecessary romance which was a huge plus for me. BUT I couldn't help but compare it to The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater and because of that it, it was lacking something for me.
