About this listen
Wanda and Peter Parker embrace great responsibility in the next adventure of an epic multiversal series that reimagines iconic Marvel origin stories.
So many worlds, so little time. Infinite possibilities, creating infinite realities. Long have I watched death court the Scarlet Witch. But . . . what if Wanda didn’t have to suffer her grief alone?
All Wanda has ever known is her friendly little neighborhood in Queens. As an infant, after her parents died, she was adopted into a family where her doting Aunt May and Uncle Ben would always be at the breakfast table. One that includes her idiot brother, Peter Parker, who thinks hiding a spider bite, joining a secret fight club, and becoming a super hero are somehow good ideas.
When Wanda’s own powers emerge, blood, chaos, and suspicion follow in their wake. But as she learns to harness her power under the guidance of Doctor Strange, Peter is standing beside her in the Sanctum Sanctorum. And as they try to protect New York City, the Parker siblings learn that with great powers, there must also come great responsibilities—and greater losses.
Reeling from tragedy, Wanda finds herself truly alone for the first time in her life. Peter is lost to his own grief, and so she must forge ahead on her own. But on her first solo outing, she runs into a mysterious speedster—a man named Pietro. And everything she has ever known shatters like glass.
Faced with unbelievable truths, Wanda is forced to choose between the life she knows and the life she could have.

Story
Thor—Son of Odin, God of Thunder, wielder of the hammer Mjolnir—is dead. And Loki is responsible. It was only meant to be a joke—tampering with the Destroyer, changing Thor’s course to Midgard—a bit of mischief with a chance of maiming. But Loki's harmless prank spiraled out of control, unleashing death and destruction on New York City and the heroes sworn to protect it. The city was saved, but at the cost of Thor’s life.

Story
Marc Spector is used to voices in his head. He’s used to waking up disoriented, unsure what his alters, Jake and Steven, might have been up to. He’s used to having an Egyptian god command him as Moon Knight, his avatar of justice and revenge. What he’s not used to: staring into the face of a literal, out-of-body doppelganger. Another Marc, crash-landed from an alternate reality, begging for help? Yeah, that is a new one, even for him. But before he can really process anything beyond Khonshu’s incessant alarm bells, it becomes clear this other Marc didn’t travel solo.

Long ago, Thor saved the people of Miskander from a rebellious horde. As a thank you for his selfless heroism, he was gifted a crown which he safely stored on Asgard. Until Loki stole it. The Trickster God has been partying hard as a rock band guitarist and thought it would be fun to bequeath the crown to the lead singer, Nihilator, unaware of its true significance—and the corruptive, destructive influence of its true power.

Story
A self-centered healer, Stephen Strange is arrogant, but it's almost justified. After all, he is one of the best surgeons in the country. However, that all takes a dark turn following a horrific car crash. The doctor survives but at a great cost: his hands are irreparably damaged, and he can no longer perform surgery. No doctor can help him. Nor can faith healers or gurus. Nearing the end of his rope, he seeks out mystic help from the Ancient One, a man rumoured to possess unearthly talents.

Isolated from the world, the African kingdom of Wakanda is a land of scientific and technological marvels unknown to countries even on its own continent. Previous rulers believed that their nation could only survive by closely guarding Wakanda’s secrets and keeping them out of the hands of those who would exploit and weaponize them. King T’Challa, the Black Panther, believes the time has come to share his nation’s knowledge and resources with the world, including former apartheid state Rudyarda.

As a thief on the streets of Cairo, Ororo Munroe is an expert at blending in—keeping her blue eyes low and her white hair beneath a scarf. Stealth is her specialty . . . especially since strange things happen when she loses control. Lately, Ororo has been losing control more often, setting off sudden rainstorms and mysterious winds . . . and attracting dangerous attention.

Before Natasha Romanoff was an Avenger, she was a Russian spy and assassin, genetically altered by Soviet Union-era scientists to become a super soldier. But someone has stolen a sample of her blood—and the blood of James “Bucky” Barnes, the operative known as the Winter Soldier, another human weapon developed in a Russian laboratory. Whoever took their blood possesses the key to recreating the formula flowing through Natasha and Bucky’s veins—the formula that enhanced their physiology to superhuman levels.

Story
Hey, hey, book lovers, take off those big thick glasses - this is Deadpool speaking! Sorry Marvel, somethin' happened to your copy guy. Anyway, this is my first prose novel, and they got this dude Stefan Petrucha to write it. He's good people. He's written novels and comics. But here's the thing: This book is about dogs. Dogs that turn into big nasty monsters. And then I gotta kill 'em. Thing is, I like killing people - the ones that deserve it, anyway - but I won't kill dogs. So that's what we call a character dilemma.

As a private eye in New York City, it’s Jessica Jones’s job to investigate humanity’s worst, unleashed impulses. Possessing superhuman strength and endurance does nothing to help her process other people’s tragedies, much less her own slate of unresolved traumatic issues. Realizing drinking and hitting things is no way to cope with her problems—no matter how much fun it is—Jessica gives therapy a try. But she finds it hard to look after herself when so many people need help.

Now, groundbreaking research has revealed a method for reversing the genetic mutation responsible for mutant powers—whether the mutant wants it reversed or not. The US government wants to use this procedure to eliminate the so-called mutant menace once and for all—but the X-Men soon learn that the true source of the procedure is their old enemy, Sinister! And his agenda is far more complex and dangerous than even the X-Men can imagine.

Thor—Son of Odin, God of Thunder, wielder of the hammer Mjolnir—is dead. And Loki is responsible. It was only meant to be a joke—tampering with the Destroyer, changing Thor’s course to Midgard—a bit of mischief with a chance of maiming. But Loki's harmless prank spiraled out of control, unleashing death and destruction on New York City and the heroes sworn to protect it. The city was saved, but at the cost of Thor’s life.

Story
Marc Spector is used to voices in his head. He’s used to waking up disoriented, unsure what his alters, Jake and Steven, might have been up to. He’s used to having an Egyptian god command him as Moon Knight, his avatar of justice and revenge. What he’s not used to: staring into the face of a literal, out-of-body doppelganger. Another Marc, crash-landed from an alternate reality, begging for help? Yeah, that is a new one, even for him. But before he can really process anything beyond Khonshu’s incessant alarm bells, it becomes clear this other Marc didn’t travel solo.

A self-centered healer, Stephen Strange is arrogant, but it's almost justified. After all, he is one of the best surgeons in the country. However, that all takes a dark turn following a horrific car crash. The doctor survives but at a great cost: his hands are irreparably damaged, and he can no longer perform surgery. No doctor can help him. Nor can faith healers or gurus. Nearing the end of his rope, he seeks out mystic help from the Ancient One, a man rumoured to possess unearthly talents.

Hey, hey, book lovers, take off those big thick glasses - this is Deadpool speaking! Sorry Marvel, somethin' happened to your copy guy. Anyway, this is my first prose novel, and they got this dude Stefan Petrucha to write it. He's good people. He's written novels and comics. But here's the thing: This book is about dogs. Dogs that turn into big nasty monsters. And then I gotta kill 'em. Thing is, I like killing people - the ones that deserve it, anyway - but I won't kill dogs. So that's what we call a character dilemma.

Extremely good
I was excited based purely on the premise and it was a fantastic story. It is based on the newer retcons that Marvel did for the Maximoff’s where Wanda and Pietro are enhanced by the high evolutionary, not related to Magneto.
Also, there is one detail that bothered me listening (and reading) to this:
Small plot spoiler:
The story starts in media res before going all the way to Richard and May Parker’s mission that causes them to find baby Wanda.
It takes almost the entire story to get back to that original point, and by then you’d probably forgotten about it.

2 tragedies having a happy story
I admit this is a great book! It's wholesome and finally Wanda gets a happy childhood. This book touched me who has never had a sibling.
It pays great respect to both Wanda and Peter. Really this book made me think that these 2 really should have been siblings.
It has happy moments, sad moments and some...weird moments. (SLIGHT SPOILER) Gwen dies. And Strange didn't do anything. Before he says he is training Wanda so she would never be caught off guard. He doesn't let her go on dangerous patrols with Peter but is ok for her to face Green Goblin? He could have supervised them and interfered if he felt this was too much for them.
Oh well, a great book and now honestly I can't wait for The What If Venom and Moon Knight book.

Best Marvel story so far
This is honestly one of the best stories that I’ve listened to in a long time, though I am a huge Scarlet Witch fan, so I may be biased!
I love the story, love the way it was read and I absolutely adored how they wrote the characters!

Surprisingly enjoyable!
I’m not all that much of a marvel fan and I honestly I bought this book more because I really like the narrator, Allyson Voller and wanted to hear a new story. But the story was surprisingly easily to follow along with (especially compared to the movies I barely watch nowadays). Everyone was introduced and explained in a way even newcomers could understand without being an info-dump.
The story’s pace was slow and fast at just the right times and kept me interested and excited for what was happening next. Lastly the characters felt compelling and authentic, it wasn’t just all witty quips or jokes. My only complaint would have to be that the final fight felt too quick, though I guess with a speedster if they didn’t have a way to contain him before he escapes then they would have a way to end the fight instantly. So I guess it’s reader preference.

The Spectacular Parker Siblings
I can say that while this is a Scarlett Witch story, at the core, it is also a Spider-Man story too. Seanan McGuire does an incredible job of creating this amazing world and also does an amazing job of showing how this story could happen. Even if you are not a dedicated Marvel, MCU, Scarlet Witch or Spider-man fan, Seanan McGuire does a great job of introducing and condensing both their stories together that, to be honest, makes a lot of sense and is really fun. The characters introduced (yes it’s a marvel product so you can expect a cameo or two) each do play a role and advance the story as well. So while I was geeking out at their cameos, each one does have a role and purpose to help Wanda through her story.
Allyson Voller as the narrator could not have been a more perfect choice. Her voice and talent were spot on and great for Wanda, but she also did great job with all the other characters in this story (Seriously I felt her almost channeling Rosemary Harris vibes from the Sam Raimi Spider-man films for the Aunt May parts)
Overall, this was just an incredible journey and I can’t recommend it enough. I laughed, I cried, I stayed up each day wanting to know what will happened next, and I woke up excited to listen the next day. I am grateful for this amazing, thrilling, and just fun story.
To Seanan McGuire and Allyson Voller, you may never read this comment/review, but thank you for everything. As a Spider-Man fan, I had an amazing time reliving those great moments, and you both definitely cemented Wanda as my favorite Marvel heroine. Together, you both gave me something I never know I needed in my life until I received it. Thank you again for all your hard work and amazing talent. I genuinely enjoyed this, and thank you for the amazing adventure. I know for a fact that I will definitely be swinging back for another listen definitely soon.
