A interesting, feminist, mg read with great and complex characters. I love Nic Stone's writing and Anika Noni Rose is so good at voices.

“Who runs the world? Girls.”

This was the better of the two Shuri books by Nic Stone. I love everything about these books and can’t wait to recommend them to some of my middle school students!

Shuri's voice is probably the best thing about these books. In this installment, she's fighting for bright girls in the STEM field, girls who are randomly disappearing without anyone noticing. I love that Shuri puts matters into her own hands when the adults in her life aren't paying attention. Plus, there are some bonus references to other Marvel characters in this one!

Significantly better than the first one I thought. Tighter plot, better character growth, interesting world building. There were still parts that felt jarring incorrect for the character based on the comics I've read but still overall a much better read than the first one.
