STORM: DAWN OF A GODDESS Marvel

Joniece Abbott-Pratt narrates this gripping origin story of Ororo before she became Storm of the X-Men. Orphaned in Cairo, Ororo has had years to hone her skills as a thief, hiding her conspicuous white hair beneath a scarf. Desperate for answers about her heritage, she joins young T'Challa of Wakanda on a journey across Africa. But staying anonymous becomes harder as her emerging powers set off storms and winds that she can't control, attracting the notice of the soul-stealing Shadow King. Abbott-Pratt seamlessly switches between Ororo's American accent and the African accents of the many other characters, skillfully differentiating their voices. Her gentle depiction of Ororo and T'Challa's budding romance will have listeners swooning. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
