This book was received as an ARC from Marvel Press in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I loved this version/story of black panther. This story was absolutely enticing and adventurous and it definitely will leave you speechless when finished. At first I was a little hesitant that I would not be able to pronounce some of the names and places in Wakanda but, I was fortunate that the only unique name in the case of characters was obviously T'Challa which we later know as Black Panther. I know fans of the Marvel series will appreciate Spellbound and of course it warmed my heart and brought me to tears that this was such an ode to Chadwick Boseman.

We will consider adding this title to our JFiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Great book for the level and genre. Fast paced and kept my attention, so surely would do the same for young adults. Shows great positive friendship bonds between main characters, which is nice to see. Would definitely recommend to be placed in a classroom or library collection.

A wonderful exploration of a popular character — I would love to add this book to my classroom and can think of young readers who would be excited to read it.
