This was quite good!
First of all, the Wonder Woman of the book (and the other Amazons as well as Themiscyra) are but an inspiration. Many things differ from the info that have been established in comic or movies thus far.
It's difficult to take an already famous character but then make the thing your own. Here and there I felt like Bardugo struggled a bit with that.
The story we get is pretty much your standard "let's go on a quest to save the world before the times runs out" type of thing. There wasn't too much surprising or unique stuff going on and that left me a little disappointed.
Wonder Woman is a decent book but it's just nothing special. I know Leigh Bardugo is talented and writes brilliant books. Unfortunately, I don't see too much of that in this novel. Warbringer is one of those books you might pick up at the airport, read at the beach during your holiday and then leave to never think of it again.
