Red Sonja: Consumed
Ratings5
Average rating3.9
Red Sonja, the iconic, fiery, she-devil with a sword, is reinvented for a new generation of readers in this action-packed epic fantasy by legendary comic book writer Gail Simone. The gutsy, wild, tortured free spirit, forged in pain yet unafraid of life or death, Red Sonja, the famous, fiery She-Devil and barbarian of Hyrkania has never concerned herself with the consequences of her actions. She's taken what she wanted, from treasure to drink to the companionship of bedfellows. She's fought who deserved it (and sometimes those who didn't). And she's never looked back. But when rumors start bubbling up from her homeland--rumors of unknown horrors emerging from the ground and pulling their unsuspecting victims to their deaths--and a strange voice begins whispering to her in her sleep, she realizes she may have to return to the country that abandoned her. And finally do the only thing that has ever scared her: confront her past.

I've always liked the idea of Red Sonja as this badass warrior lady, but I never really would have considered myself a big fan of her. Reading this has definitely changed that opinion - Simone's exploration of Sonja's background does a great job of grounding her in reality, while also presenting a deeply fantastical story. That combination of sweet and savoury makes for an incredibly engaging story. The audiobook performance by Felicia Day adds a great additional layer to the story as well.
The myth was bigger than the woman and felt strangely hollow and meandering for the first 70% and then it started to come together
The plot was kinda loose but it still has bones and now the world is developed.
I think there is supposed to be three books and I think they could be pretty solid
