Scoville Spice Scale 🌶(really ½)
This is a look at a Storm I've never seen before. We seem her as a young child with her family and then as a teenager living in the streets of Cairo before she takes a journey to find her mother's people and meets up with a young man named T'Challa of Wakanda! (Yes, Him!) Their adventures, flirtatious, Ororo's struggles to not fall in love with T'Challa because he's a King and she's a street rat shape what she is to become in the future.
I so enjoyed this book. What a wonderful background story on Ororo and how she became Storm and her friendship with T'Challa and her run in with The Shadow King. I had only heard of the Shadow King once before and knew him to be a very powerful mutant. I'm very glad Professor Xavier offered her a place with the X-Men.
I highly recommend this book especially to middle grade and high school fans of X-Men. As a lifelong fan, I adored it.
