This is by far the weakest collection of the three. I really considered giving it two stars. There're not really any stand-out stories here. There are a couple not bad ones, but there's also a couple just plain crap ones. So to separate the crappy from the okay, here are my short thoughts on each:
Vendetta: Overall fun. Wonder Woman and Ares fighting over a war-torn country.
Return to Gaia: Probably my favorite of the volume. Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy team up.
A Moment of Peace: Some nice interaction between Batman and Wonder Woman, but mostly pretty meh because it's way too short.
Besties: Complete and utter crap. I wish I could forget reading this.
Nine Days: Kind of confusing with Strife and Eris and Nyx, but not too bad by the end.
Both Ends of the Leash: Some asshole and his pet lion. This one was pretty bad.
Our Little Dance: Cheetah gets transferred to a lower security prison. Things go as expected Pretty nice overall.
Echidna: Uh, this art is a little off-putting in places and the story kind of hops around randomly. Wonder Woman's face on the first page might give me nightmares.
A Day in Our Lives: Superman and Wonder Woman. More art I'm not thrilled about. Also never really like Superman that much he makes me want to constantly roll my eyes.
Island of Lost Souls: Cheetah and Wonder Woman meet the Island of Doctor Moreau. Okay-ish. Less okay-ish when the dog got shot.
Vendetta: Overall fun. Wonder Woman and Ares fighting over a war-torn country.

I don't know why people are disliking this. For me, this is the best volume between the three.

Wonder Woman is my favourite female superhero and the first volume of Sensation Comics was interesting so I picked this up at the library.
I did not like Besties. Diana felt very stuck up and unlike her humble self. I did like that the characters talk about shaming women for how they dress and unfair competition.
I noticed that alot of the issues tackled Wonder Woman being the mediator between warring countries. Like in Vendetta, Nine Days and A Day in Our Lives (best art!).
Cheetah featured two times in this volume under different circumstances. Our Little Dance combined mental health and Cheetah but not the classes Barbara Minerva. I liked the message of the story especially when the district attorney mentions how superheroes cause alot of collateral damage. Barbara does feature as Cheetah in The Island of Lost Souls. Again, she needs Diana's help. This felt like an ode to The Island of Dr. Moreau. At times, I wondered if Diana is too compassionate. She helps those who I as the reader would think should not be helped.
Overall, still a satisfying collection for a Wonder Woman fan.

Not as good as Vol 1. I'm giving it three stories for the Cheetah story because that focus on the damage done to non-superheros and highlights the difference between Wonder Woman and Batman. I also enjoyed the stories with Poison Ivy and Superman. First story gets bonus points for the woman in charge.

The stories in this volume were hit or miss for me. Some of the issues had fantastic artwork but mediocre writing, some had decent stories but terrible artwork. Unfortunately I don't feel like those two components ever matched up. I did enjoy seeing Diana interact with various other DC heroes and villains, but some of the stories just seemed too gimicky.
I really enjoyed the first two volumes in this series, so I hope it gets back on track in the next volume.
