"As Zenzi and the people poison Wakanda's citizens against the Black Panther, a cabal of nation-breakers is assembled. And Ayo and Aneka, the Midnight Angels, are courted by Tetu to help raise their land to new glory! His allies dwindling, T'Challa must rely on his elite secret police, the Hatut Zeraze, and fellow Avenger Eden Fesi, a.k.a. Manifold! And with T'Challa's back truly against the wall, he even calls in some old friends to lend a hand: Luke Cage, Misty Knight and Storm! But Wakanda may be too far gone for this all-new, all-different Crew-- and there's one job the Panther must handle alone. Only he can voyage into the Djalia! Getting there is hard enough, but can even he find his sister Shuri inside Wakanda's collective memory?"--Back cover.

Reviews with the most likes.
Honestly, the story is just plodding. You get the sense that Coates is doing some good world-building but in all that exposition, the actual stories themselves are frequently gummed up in monologues. Case in point: T'Challa spends several pages travelling in an astral/dream plane to save Shuri, and he just keeps talking and talking to himself.
The real saving grace is that Wakanda is in a sense the most interesting character in the book.
I'll continue to buy this for my collection and promote it (especially with the movie coming soon, which looks amazing!) but this felt even more confused than the first volume and I don't feel compelled to read any more of the story.
