Review: Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo

I have done it. I have now read every book Leigh Bardugo currently has published!

And I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS BOOK!

It grabs you in the same way all other Leigh Bardugo books do, it has as awesome core of female friendship, hardcore promotes the wonderful Wonder Woman empowerment and protection brand, it made me laugh, it made me cry. I super enjoyed this book!

I soooo wish this had a sequel. I have not read these books in order and this was the same way I felt after I finished Batman: Nightwalker. 

Spoilers from here on out! Really only one, but it is a big one.

I really enjoyed meeting all of these characters. Diana is just as sparkling and wonderful in this interpretation as you would like, she also has genuine problems she has to deal with and is deeply interesting. Alia, the other point of view character, is a wonderful pairing! She is closed off, and smart, and funny, and deeply cares about the few people in her life, and I want to know what she is off doing outside the purview of this novel. Nim and Theo were topnotch best friends. Jason was so awful and so every dude I hated in political science classes. He is a realist in all the bad ways. He is also SO OBVIOUSLY THE VILLIAN FROM THE MOMENT WE MEET HIM. I obviously still stand by my assessment that Leigh Bardugo is good at a great many things, but subtle foreshadowing is not one of them. 

I know that I probably won’t be getting anymore DC Icons books, but I would absolutely love more. And SEQUELS! Preferably by the same authors. Except the one accused of sexual assault. I am not going to get around to that one (also heard it is underwhelming af). But I am excited to get to Soulstealer, I have heard great things.

I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads and finished reading it on March 12th, 2019.
