I didn't really know anything about DC and especially about Wonder Woman going into this book. But I'm really happy to have learned some of the lore. I love the idea of the island of Themyscira, of warriors dying bravely in battle and being reincarnated. I love Diana, the only Amazon who hasn't earned her place. It was a pretty story.
Plot-wise, this book was a bit too straightforward for me. Diana has to get Alia to a certain spring by a certain time. And plenty of people want to see them dead along the way. I'm used to Leigh Bardugo's worlds with different nations that want different things, where there's so much going on. So reading such a straightforward plot was frustrating.
Four stars! Even with its somewhat simplistic plot, this was a really fun book to read. I can't wait for the next DC Icons books.
Wonder Woman: Warbringer comes out August 29.
