As a huge Marvel fan, I love getting to read about young T’Challa and the adventures he has with his friends. I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but book two absolutely exceeded my expectations. The story was fun but also a bit scary at times. It was really well paced and made it hard to stop reading. And I loved that we got to see the Dark Hold, which of course has been on people’s minds lately with Wandavision and Multiverse of Madness.

I feel like kids would really love this book too. It’s got some good moral lessons in the story, along with a diverse cast of characters, and so much good friendship. I really hope we continue to get more books in this series because I think it’s a great way to also engage with Marvel fans that might want to learn more about the characters we all love so much.

The audiobook narrator did a great job creating distinct characters, and I think he handled so many different accents really well. I didn’t even need to speed down my time to better understand him since all his voices were so clear.

Thank you Disney Audiobooks, Marvel Press, and NetGalley for the ARC audiobook.
