Wonder Woman: Warbringer

Diana has always felt like a bit of an outcast among her Amazon sisters.  They have all earned their places on Themyscira through battle, but Diana was born there--created from her mother's desire to have a child.

She is hungry to prove herself, but an impulsive decision to rescue a girl from a shipwreck off the coast will cost her more than she can imagine.  Not only is the presence of a mortal destroying the island, but when she learns the true identity of the girl she saved, Diana wonders if she should have left the girl to die.

Alia is the warbringer--the latest in a long line of women to bear the curse of Helen, destined to bring war and strife into the world.  How the only options be to kill an innocent girl or doom millions to the horrors of war?

Diana believes there is another way, so she leaves her island home with a plan to break the curse for Alia and for future generations of girls.

I was so excited to read this book.  Wonder Woman plus Leigh Bardugo should have been amazing, but it was only okay for me.  It got better toward the end, but there were just a couple of things that should have made her suspicious but didn't because...plot?...I guess.  It was a good fantasy adventure, but I just expected something a little more elevated from this author.
