Change of style but still a good read.
In this instalment of the story, we hear from both main characters point of view and to begin with, this was quite disconcerting, however, with already having an emotional investment in the characters I carried on and found it really works. A rewrite of book one to also be in the style would be great or the next book making it clearer why the story is told in this way. In this volume I found the ending to be left in a very uncomfortable place, so if you don't like being left hanging, perhaps you should make sure book 3 is next to you before reading this one.
The character's adventures continue here, with the advancement of the back story as well as adding intriguing additional stories which drive the story forward well, keeping me engaged throughout.
I would recommend this as a good read for all. Just remember my warning about the ending.

I was surprised how little tired book suffered from middle book syndrome. The main plot of the bookwas a little weaker than the overall arc of the trilogy, but that didn't matter to me that much. I must admit when the bullying started I felt the bullying tactics didn't match with the age of the perpetrators, but she got it right by the end. I have read other reviewers complaining that the strong character Sonea showed in the first book disappeared in this one, but I think this is unfair. In the first book she was in a territory she understood and had confidence because of that understanding. In this book, she is in a world foreign to get upbringing where society is set against her and it's acting out is prejudices onto her, of course her confidence is going to take a hit! I felt the spark of defiance still shone within her, even if it wasn't as forthright as it one was. I'm guessing this will return on the list installment.

So what can I say? I liked it, yes. A bit dry in spots, felt like a bit of a slow burn in the very beginning, but really quite liked how Coates wrapped up the first arc of his run. Only thing not likable in this collection was the Jonathan Hickman-written material from NEW AVENGERS 18, 21, and 24 (if wasn't for this inclusion, I would have given it 5 Stars). Other than that, good stuff, great handling of the socio-political aspects of Wakanda. Looking forward to starting the 4th volume this week!
One concluding thought I want to put out there.. Don't go into Coates' BP run expecting a Marvel "paint by numbers" superhero book. This series is so much, offering a solid interpretation of the character. Coates has incorporated so much of what is going on in the world today, bringing into the comic, as well as stirring in Wakanda's rich historical background as well as the Wakanda pantheon of gods! If you go in with the approach I am recommending, you, too, will love Coates' BLACK PANTHER run!

Another Great Season
What We Do in the Shadows has to be one of my favorite shows. It never fails to make me laugh at least once an episode.
All of the guest stars this season were well used, I thought Haley Joel Osment was hilarious in the first ep, which tends to be his MO now when he appears in anything. It definitely started the season off with a bang.
The Colin Robinson-centric episode had to be one of my favorites. He's often an ignored character, and while he is annoying some of the time, it was nice to see an ep focused on him.
I really liked Guillermo's arc in this season as well. Him joining the group of vampire hunters on accident because he was looking for more victims was really amusing.
I didn't feel as if there was a bad episode out of all of them, which is always a good thing.
Thank god there's already a season three in the works to be released next year!

The Covenant
By Tom Lewis
⭐️⭐️
Capetown Maine is haunted. Everyone in the quiet seaside community knows it, but only Kenzie Walsh and her friends are willing to do something about it. So, when a mysterious, arcane chalice is found buried in a local cave, Kenzie delves into its origins. What she finds are its ties to a cursed, shadow-haunted city thought to only exist in legend, and its role in a terrifying end-times prophecy. A prophecy the chalice’s unearthing has set in motion; and which Kenzie and her friends may be the only hope of stopping.
I struggled with it if I’m honest it just wasn’t for me. I found it slightly long winded in places and in others that could have been interesting rushed past. A lot of over explanation.
Like I said it’s just not for me I hope that someo finds it for them.
