She will become one of
the world’s greatest heroes: WONDER WOMAN. But first she is Diana,
Princess of the Amazons. And her fight is just beginning. . . .
Diana
longs to prove herself to her legendary warrior sisters. But when the
opportunity finally comes, she throws away her chance at glory and
breaks Amazon law—risking exile—to save a mere mortal. Even worse, Alia
Keralis is no ordinary girl and with this single brave act, Diana may
have doomed the world.
Alia just wanted to escape her
overprotective brother with a semester at sea. She doesn’t know she is
being hunted. When a bomb detonates aboard her ship, Alia is rescued by a
mysterious girl of extraordinary strength and forced to confront a
horrible truth: Alia is a Warbringer—a direct descendant of the infamous
Helen of Troy, fated to bring about an age of bloodshed and misery.
Together,
Diana and Alia will face an army of enemies—mortal and
divine—determined to either destroy or possess the Warbringer. If they
have any hope of saving both their worlds, they will have to stand side
by side against the tide of war. @goodreads
One of the shortest reviews to what I thought would be a long review of one of my favorite comic book characters.
Wonder
Woman and the Hulk were my favorite characters of all time when I was
growing up. I watched and own the shows. I just love them still.
Superman followed shortly after and then several more as I got older.
Soooooo, I was really disappointed that this book didn't blow me away. I
thought it would have all of the stars. I love old school Diana.
All
the stars goes to Wonder Woman and I liked Alia well enough but it just
didn't hit me the right way. I didn't care for anyone else in the book.
Don't get me wrong, I love Leigh Bardugo and her Six of Crows duology
but I just didn't love this one.
I don't understand why books
have to be changed around to some weird different stuff and I don't even
know how to explain what I mean. Lol
I'm glad so many loved it
to death because this is the way of the new world. I'm hoping that
someone will write a more adult Wonder Woman book down the road and have
it more to the real story line then bending to the world all young
adult books are taking. I'm glad that Diana wasn't seen as stupid at
least. It wasn't great, it wasn't bad, it was okay.
