Wonder Woman: Warbringer
by Leigh Bardugo
YES! THIS BOOK IS INCREDIBLE! Whoever you are reading this review right now, I most definitely recommend that you go and read it. It was so awesome and epic, I'm not sure if I can even find words! I'm going to try to make this review coherent but I'm still fangirling and obsessing over how wonderful it was, so thank-you for your patience.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this up. I am completely obsessed with Marvel, but I don't think that Marvel and DC are mutually exclusive, so I decided to give this a go and boy am I glad that I did. The story is exceptionally written, it's action-packed, easy to follow and full of unexpected twists which I never saw coming. I was never bored reading this, and didn't ever want to put it down.
The characters were awesome, diverse and all had very strong personalities. Diana was predictably brilliant. Strong, smart, bold, unintentionally amusing and a perfect portrayal of Wonder Woman. Alia was not at all the character I expected, but she was so awesome, relatable and realistic, yet she had a thirst to prove herself and showed lots of spunk and courage. Her friendship with Diana which grew across the book was brilliant. All the other characters were also fantastic, and I loved how their unique personalities were explored across the novel, but I don't want to give too much away!
The world building was awesome! (I think I've used that word far too much in this review, but it so perfectly encapsulates my feelings about this book that I'm going to keep using it.) The world which Bardugo creates is so full of detail and described so fantastically that I was immediately sucked in, despite having no prior knowledge of any context. The settings were so beautiful at the start of the book and the scenery perfectly matched what was happening in the story. All the way throughout I could really picture the surroundings, and that made the story just that extra bit better!
In case you missed it, I would highly recommend this book. It was awesome! Also, you don't need any prior context about Wonder Woman in order to pick it up. I was worried that knowing next-to-nothing about the DC universe may detract from the experience, but I don't think it made a difference. This is a great action-packed YA book and I loved it so much!
