Book #27 of 2018:
Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo
What a great read! And one that, I’m happy to report, doesn’t require a reader to know anything about Wonder Woman or the greater DC Comics canon to enjoy. This is an alternate version of the heroine’s origin story, where a teenaged Diana leaves her island home to enter our modern world on a quest. There are fierce female friendships, a diverse cast whose different backgrounds inform their characters nicely, and some quality action and adventure. It’s the start of a new line of DC superhero novels, and author Leigh Bardugo launches the series on a perfect note.
