bettenboujee 's review for:
Wonder Woman: Warbringer
by Leigh Bardugo
So I decided to read this series not only because I like superheroes, but because I'm really bad at getting into popular authors. I figured this would be a way to at least get a taste of each author's style - many who are included are ones who I've heard a ton about, but haven't read their most famous works.
This was released around the same time as the 2017 movie, and because of that it kind of inevitably draws comparisons (the movie was better). This actually took me a while to get into - I was super bored reading the ebook, and I just now finished it on audio. The beginning was still slow, but this time I got off the island.
I liked that there were a lot of characters of color and it showed Alia and Jason's struggles being biracial - it incorporated their backgrounds into the fantasy aspects and gave it more depth than just being "the chosen one."
That said, I'm not super into fantasy and I wasn't super into this. I felt like it was so slow at the beginning, and then it got messy introducing too much as it went on. I reread a few different parts to make sure I understood what was going on, since there was so much being introduced, but none of it made me enjoy it more.
I know Bardugo's work is popular, so if you have any recommendations let me know, but maybe this series isn't enough to get me actually interested in new authors.
