I really enjoyed the story, it definitely improved from the last volume. There's some "girl power" in this one, but it's done naturally in a cool fight scene that didn't feel preachy. And as for fight scenes, while this one felt long to me I enjoyed every panel of it because it fleshed out Thor even more! This volume has three shorts at the end that have nothing to do with the main story, and I felt as a whole they weakened the vol so skip them!
