She will become a legend but first she is Diana, Princess of the Amazons. And her fight is just beginning . . .

Diana is desperate to prove herself to her warrior sisters. But when the opportunity comes, she throws away her chance at glory and breaks Amazon law to save a mere mortal, Alia Keralis. With this single heroic act, Diana may have just doomed the world.

Alia is a Warbringer - a descendant of the infamous Helen of Troy, fated to bring about an age of bloodshed and misery. Diana and Alia will face an army of enemies, mortal and divine, determined to destroy or possess the Warbringer.

To save the world, they must stand side by side against the tide of war.

I have never read the WW comics nor seen either the TV show or the new movie, so I came to this 'origin'/coming-of-age story with very little knowledge of the character, of whom Wonder Woman is or is supposed to be. None of which hindered my enjoyment in any way.

I was sufficiently engaged by the story to want a sequel, and to want to read some of the comics.

I enjoyed this so much, it made me watch the films, which were a disappointment! I hope this one gets made into a movie. Love Leigh Bardugo, she can do no wrong.

I was expecting a vapid hack job taking advantage of the recent movie's popularity, and instead found an engaging and suspenseful story that was almost impossible to put down. The book is not without it's problems - there are a couple of plot points that might get your eyes rolling - but the quality of writing and overall execution more than make up for this. Definitely recommend!

An ok to good book. I would have liked to give it 3.5 stars. There are parts of the book that are really good but there are some very slow. I think part of what I had to overcome in this story, was forgetting everything I already knew about Wonder Woman. I think Leigh Bardugo did a great job of Diane, but not quite as great on Wonder Woman. However this is not a bad thing as in this story, Diane is quite a bit younger then previous incarnations of her have been, and has all the inexperience and insecurities of growing up. Therefore she should not by the warrior she is to become yet.

This is a complete remake of the origin story. It is set in the modern world not in World War 2 time. One subtle point I really liked was when Diane and the Amazon’s talk about “man’s world” they don’t just mean men but mortals in general. I liked all the side characters in the book, I think they were written really well except when the Greek “Gods” appeared. I know Wonder Woman’s history is based on Greek mythology, and if they were just mentioned that was fine, but a couple of times they appeared I still do not understand why, and the other I think the story would have been better for Diane to triumph or fail on her own. I would have also liked more fight in the story considering her warrior heritage. Though I did like the final fight, the the one before that sucked.

All in all a good take new take on Diane. I would not mind a continuation of this incarnation of Diane to returns as the true warrior/Wonder Woman, I think there is enough left to warrant that.

Such an Amazing Origin Story!

This review originally appeared on herestohappyendings.com.

I'm somehow getting incredibly lucky with all of the great books that I've been reading lately. To be honest, I hadn't expected this one to become one of my favorite books, mostly because I really didn't know much about Wonder Woman going into this - then again, I've just recently started falling in love with superheros, plus with how amazingly well this book was written, how could I not love it, right?

While I haven't read any other books by Leigh Bardugo (yes, I have all of her other books, but I haven't read them yet. I know, I must be crazy not to have), I saw nothing but really awesome reviews for this book and I wanted to read it. While I typically stay away from really hyped up books because I never really love them as much as I hope I will, this is one of those times where I kind of threw all caution to the wind and bought this one, and read it as soon as it came in.

First off, that cover is freaking gorgeous.

Second? The story is freaking amazing.

This is probably one of the best books that I have ever read, and I loved it so much I actually started reading it again as soon as I finished the first time around.

The origin story created for Wonder Woman in this book was so amazingly done that I honestly can't imagine not having read this, now.

"You dance differently when you know you won't live forever."

Diana is an immortal from the island of Themyscira, where she is part of a women's only community known as the Amazons. They are secret from the outside world, and one of the biggest rules that Diana and her sisters and friends are to follow is that no matter what, they may not bring mortals onto the island. It is a big rule, and Diana is about to break it.

During a race, Diana notices an explosion on a ship on the coast of her island, and finds herself dropping out of the race in order to help survivors - which it turns out, there is only one - Alia. Alia is a teenage girl who was on board an expedition with some of her peers and her teachers, and Diana brings her back to the island and hides her in a cave while she consults the Oracle about what to do. In that time, the island starts to suffer the effects of a human being brought onto it, and both Alia and the island (as well as some of the women on the island) begin to fall ill and feel the effects of what Diana has done, even though none of the others are sure what exactly it is that is happening.

When Diana learns what Alia is thanks to the Oracle, she vows to get her off the island and to safety. Alia is a Warbringer - a powerful person who can cause anger, fighting, and wars to break out, especially if she isn't "cured" or killed by a certain time - in fact, she can bring about total destruction. While Alia doesn't believe this, she entertains the fact that she must accompany Diana to a special spring in Greece and bathe in its waters so that she can be cured. Yet, when Diana uses her Heartstone to imagine the two of them leaving the island and heading for Greece, she is surprised to find that Alia was thinking of her home in New York, which is where they end up.

From New York, they must try and find their way to Greece in order to help Alia and cure her of the Warbringer destiny she was born with. When Alia's brother, Jason, shows up, he isn't interested in having Alia go to Greece at all, but with the girls' constant insistance that they go, he finally relents, and together with other friends Theo and Nim, the five of them start off on a trip that will take them to Greece.

"'We can't help the way we're born. We can't help what we are, only what life we choose to make for ourselves.'"

When the five of them arrive in Greece, they work hard against outside forces to get to the spring, but eventually they discover inside forces and that there is evil among them that is trying to prevent getting Alia to the spring in time to stop all war.

I fell in love with Diana's character from the very first chapter of this book. She was dedicated, she was an outcast on her island, and she was loyal to someone she made a promise to, even if there was a risk that she would be exiled from the island that was her home. Since she lives on an island where there are no outside forms of technology such as cell phones, and she doesn't understand the humorous meaning behind the term "kick their ass" and instead takes it literally, it's amazing watching her learn all of these things that we take for granted every single day. Leigh Bardugo really did a fantastic job writing her character. The amount of development that Diana goes through in this book is incredible. It's not just Diana, either - the other characters in this book change and grow and really make this stand out from other books in its genre for that fact alone, without even taking the amazing world building, story lines, or antagonists into question.

The world building in this book is among the best that I have ever seen in a fantasy novel. The way the author describes the waves crashing up on the rocks on Diana's home island of Themyscira, to the way she describes the area in Greece and even how she talks about New York, I have honestly never seen such amazing world building in a novel like this before. I would recommend this book for the world building alone, if I am being totally sincere.

Even Alia, Jason, Nim, and Theo were all fleshed out and had different personalities that brought so many new things to the story line. I never once felt bored reading about these characters, and over time, I felt like they became very dear to me as the reader.

I loved the twist at the end - to be honest, I never would have seen that coming and I had no idea it was going to get so dark. It was a really great and fitting ending to the novel, and I can't think of a way it could have went any better.

If you are a fan of fantasy, superheroes, or are looking to check out the new series of DC Icons, this is such a great start. While superhero novels aren't really my cup of tea (usually), I was so blown out of the water by Wonder Woman: Warbringer that as soon as I finished it, I wanted to pick it up and read it again. As someone who has never gotten into Wonder Woman, I feel like this novel was a total game changer for me.

Leigh writing a Wonder Woman YA novel? This is almost too good to be true. Except it isn't, and what you get is a well-written, fast-paced, fun novel full of memorable characters and plot twists. I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait for Bardugo's next book.

Wonderful Characters; and Beautiful Writing makes for an Exhilarating Read! <3

Reviewed in India on 30 January 2018

(Also reviewed on For The Love of Fictional Worlds)

Princess Diana is an Amazon, but one who is born on the island of Themyscira – and longs to prove herself to her sisters in arms that she is worth to be called an Amazon.

Alia is a teenager protected and longs to leave the protection that her brother believes to be one keeping her alive. She, in an overdue rebellions boards a ship to Istanbul, just for a scientific exploration until it all goes horribly wrong!

This book plunges reader right into the heart of adventure from the first chapter itself – and ends up personifying action, adventure and heart pounding quest undertaken by first Diana and then with Alia to save the World of Man from plunging into war!

If Diana was my goddess; I swear Alia was my queen.

They are strong, willful and courageous female role models, who I hope every young girl (and even adults) suffering from self – doubt would look up to! They take the obstacles thrown in their path and even with their doubts, they move along, believing in each other and themselves!

But the foundation of the book lay in bonds of friendship that took time to lay; but when laid had these two spirited and independent girls had me reminiscing the friendship that I read in another series that defined my childhood! (Virtual cookies to who guesses this series!:P)

The plot runs along at a steady pace; with good character buildup of not only Diana and Alia but also the secondary characters of Nim, Jason and Theo – but it’s the last 90% of the book that had me biting my nails and sniping at my husband who dared to disturb my reading time!

Although, honestly I do wish the book hadn’t ended a bit abruptly (could have used an epilogue, tbh!); it did make me a fan of Leigh Bardugo who I think I am gonna binge read next!
