Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo
4.0

As a lifelong Wonder Woman fan this book is amazing and I will forever love the way Diana is portrayed in it. At first I wasn't sure how well the story was going to develop since its her teenage years. But at the end she is wonderfully written. Diana is a young but judicious and compassionate girl that puts others' needs before anything else. She simply can't refuse to help those in need, and will fight until the very end to protect the weak.

This book goes back to Wonder Woman's origins (both literally and metaphorically): Gets rid of the sword, the raw violence and returns to her compassion and never ending love for every being that exists. It also brings back her clay origin (the best one in my opinion). The fact that the plot is entirely connected to Greek mythology makes it even better.

Beware, however. This book is not a traditional superhero story nor it aspires to be an imageless version of a comic book. It is mainly centered on the values that define Wonder Woman and her lore. The action sequences are limited. It is, nevertheless, a beautiful story that fans and non-fans alike can enjoy.
