Thank you Netgalley and Ms. Thomas for the advance reader's copy in exchange of my honest review. 

Spoiler Ahead

"Black Panther: Panther's Rage" is a prose adaptation of the comic book of the same title. Same as everyone, I've watched the film adaptation. In this prose adaptation, we see a vulnerable T'Challa. It's a nice change from the fierce and wise movie T'Challa. It is also fresh to see him as an older brother and a good friend. We also read about the beauty of Wakanda. We get to explore uncharted territories, see undead dinosaurs and tour mystic mountains. The issue I have with this book is that T'Challa always goes in alone in all the major events and kept on battling (one at a time) at least 7 members of the Death Regiment including Killmonger (twice!), getting badly injured, recuperating and doing it all over again. Aside from the 100 information he got from all this investigating and fighting, T'Challa was still unprepared for the attack of the dinosaurs (that wasn't truly a surprise). The love story was also too much. It was bordering on obsession to be honest.
