The setting worked out well though, I thought the idea of a Warbringer was great and the use of present day was ok. The movie version of her that just came out had more emotion than this one did.

I really wonder if Bardugo was given full reign to do as she pleased with this title or was she told to play it safe? Becuase this has none of the amazing writing skills that we saw in her other titles.ĭiana was very uptight and had no real emotion. I love the world of superheroes but this one I just dont get the hype. But what I got was Diana of the middle grade, predictable, young adult trope and it was very very boring and I don't know how I ended up reading this one all the way through. This was supposed to be about Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. I was so excited to read this one and it fell so flat that I was wondering if I even wanted to finish it. I love Diana but this version of her was a snore fest. Photos/Illustrations: 5 (the chapter headers were great)ĭon't get me wrong I did like this book but I think it could have been much better. Rate on scale of 1 to 5 (5 being exceptional): I did enjoy the character of Alia but other than that it just wasn't noteworthy.Ĭheck out author's other books? Or related books?
