Wonder Woman: Warbringer

“You dance differently when you know you won't live forever.”
I have seen the film. And this book is better. Fight me.
Full disclosure: I do not care for DC or Marvel. I mean, how many times can an apocalypse be prevented in the last nanosecond until it becomes unrealistic? Until it becomes a cliché? They tell the same story again and again and I am over it. I also do not care for the majority of actors and actresses the companies have hired. I either dislike them or find them boring. Or hate them because I find them boring. That being said, I do care deeply for Diana Prince. She is a cute little nugget and does not need to be protected because she can defend herself perfectly fine.
This book was perfect. Not that I expected anything else from Leigh. It was action-packed, it was diverse, it was unexpected. I enjoyed the connection to Greek mythology and have always found it fascinating. It was also super funny. Diana has never seen the world outside her sheltered home before, which is why her reactions are often stunning and hilarious. I also know for a fact the Leigh giggled to herself when she wrote this particular scene:
One has to love the world wide web.
Anyway, it was an amazing book and I would love to see a sequel or two in the future. There is lots of potential and a few loose ends that could be picked up on.

I doubt it will happen but there is so much potential
IKR
hmm so there is hope
I've also read Batman by Marie Lu and it was meh. I kinda doubt any of them will be as good as Wonder Woman.
you absolutely should
That's the perfect compliment, thank you!
Perfect! I hope you'll like it as much as I did.
I am huge DC/Marvel fan! I have always loved most of the movies as I have basically grown up on superheroes and Star Wars. I do have to agree that this book was better than the movie though. It added a fresh twist on what we had previously seen in the movie. I would also love to see a sequel in the future!
If you haven't read Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J. Maas I recommend it! It is also really good in my opinion!
I mean I know that the concept of this series is that different authors write a single instalment about different heroes...but I'm still hoping for that sequel. And with an author as promising as Leigh I'm sure they'll think about letting her write one.
And I'm not a big SJM fan, tbh, so I think I'll pass on this one.
To think you gave 4 stars to a story that was about a comic book character preventing the apocalypse at the last nanosecond, an oft repeated unrealistic cliché 😅😅😅
You have made my day, human. 😌
I am a complex hypocrite okay?
That's absolutely fine. 🤣
same!
