Mmmm.
Bueeeeeeno :?
Le doy 3 estrellas a esta novela de una forma muy específica, crítica y metódica. Una porque me entretuvo la lectura, otra por el desarrollo de personaje y la tercera por los temas que Leigh Bardugo atraviesa en esta novela.
Admito que me sentí dejada a abandonar el libro más de una vez. Me aburrí y no me atrapó en loo más mínimo. No le tenía altas expectativas a "Wonder Woman: Warbringer" y me animé a leerlo sin esperar nada, pero al final me aburrí muchísimo. Lamento decir que Leigh me decepcionó esta vez, algo que creía imposible XD. Como adolescente, hubieron momentos en los que me divertí y todo el drama me atrapó, pero en general las primeras 200 páginas me mataron de indiferencia, las próximas 100 me encantaron y las últimas 100 me aburrieron nuevamente. Eso sí, los personajes son súper complejos y con una profundidad enorme, lo cual aproveché para analizar en gran detalle. Me encantó todo sobre los personajes y el camino que atraviesan. Esto me lleva a los temas que Leigh toca en esta novela. "Wonder Woman: Warbringer" es una historia sobre héroes, confianza, el bian y el mal y la borrosa definición de ellos, ser el héroe en la historia propia. Captura a la perfección una buena historia de DC, por más de que me haya aburrido en mayoría. Y, bueno, amo DC Icons y por eso voy a leer los demás libros de esta "saga" que van a ir saliendo, porque sus historias siempre me resultan sumamente poderosas. Pero esperaba más de este libro, y esa es la verdad. :/

There were two reasons that prompted me to buy this book - Leigh Bardugo and Diana of Themyscira. And neither of them let me down. I loved Bardugo’s version of Diana’s journey towards becoming the iconic Wonder Woman. The book has a slow start but in true Bardugo form, it picks up towards the end and ends on a satisfying note. What I loved most about this book is its portrayal of female friendship. That is one of the things that I admire about Leigh Bardugo’s writing - she can beautifully describe the camaraderie between females rather than pitting them against each other. Inej and Nina’s friendship is one of the many joys of the 'Six of Crows’ duology and she does that here too. The beautiful friendship that originates between Diana, Alia and Nim was beautiful and fun to read. If you love Wonder Woman, then definitely give this a try. But when you pick up this book, leave the images of Gal Gadot and her version of Diana behind. It would be unfair to compare the two and chances of disappointment will be less.

This ebook was cheap on amazon and since I love anything Wonder Woman I decided to give this a shit even though I am not a big young adult books fan.
I very much enjoyed this book. It is well written and actually could imagine Wonder Woman.
I read this book pretty quickly because I just couldn't put it down.

Growing up, I was a huge fan of Justice League animated series.
Not my favorite League Member, but Diana was always awesome. And I loved her chemistry with Batman in that series.
Now coming to this book, I entered this blind and did not know that Diana is only 17 in this book. Frankly, the character of Diana in this book is quite different that what I expected. I loved the new characters, Alia and Nim.
In fact it made me wonder. The most charming part about this book was the friendship between the three girls. Why don't more superhero stories do this? Some good wholesome friendship. It actually felt as if is a group of college mates having a genuinely good time, albeit while trying to save the world from an apocalypse.

This was excellent! Not quite as good as the rest of this author's other books, but still a fun and enjoyable read! I did feel like there was a giant cop out with Nim and Theo's deaths, even though I'm glad they survived because with Diana going home where would Alia be with her traitor brother? I think if I hadn't listened to Crooked Kingdom 24 hours prior, having to deal with Matthias' death, I would have a different thought about the cop out - but even then I loved how it was done even while knowing it was a cop out. I loved how Diana was portrayed, clueless to the new world, and every time we got Alia's POV with her describing Diana, my immediate thoughts were "gay." I wish this was a duology, because there is more that I would love to see dove into - with Alia's family and her parents. For a standalone, I feel it was quite well done, at the very least I don't know who could do better. This is the first and likely only Leigh Bardugo book I'll be rating under 5 stars.

4.5* just because I’m not sure how I feel about the ending.
