went into this book expecting action at every turn and to have my blood pumping, but that isn't this type of book. I should also admit, I didn't read the synopsis until after starting the book, because I was too excited from watching the Wonder Woman movie. Even though this didn't meet my expectations, I still found this to be an amazing book. 

The characters are clearly defined and individual with their own kinds of growth. They are all strong in their own way as well, which I found to be uplifting. Not everyone can be as physically strong as Diana, but they can be strong in their courage, intellect, emotions, and loyalty. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about these characters' adventure. It should also be mentioned that out of the main characters only Diana is white. Yay for diversity!!

The plot seemed slow moving. There was a large set up, which made sense since the reader needs to know what type of Diana we are reading about and learn about what a Warbringer is and understand Alia's life. There is action and fights, so I don't think people will be too disappointed reading this. 

My biggest issue, which really just shows how spoiled I am, is that there is no pronunciation guide or term glossary in the back. This is a feature I think all readers would find helpful, because I have no idea how to pronounce any of the Amazons' names nor am I totally up to date on all my Greek mythology. This is a little thing, but honestly could have made the book much more welcoming.
