Summary:
Princess Diana longs to prove herself to her legendary warrior sisters. But when the opportunity finally comes, she throws away her chance at glory and breaks Amazon law--risking exile--to save a mortal. Diana will soon learn that she has rescued no ordinary girl, and that with this single brave act, she may have doomed the world.
Alia Keralis just wants a chance to escape her overprotective brother with a semester at sea. She doesn't know she is being hunted by people who think her very existence could spark a world war. When a bomb detonates aboard her ship, Alia is rescued by a mysterious girl of extraordinary strength and forced to confront a horrible truth: Alia is a Warbringer--a direct descendant of the infamous Helen of Troy, fated to bring about an age of bloodshed and misery.
Two girls will face an army of enemies--mortal and divine--determined to either destroy or possess the Warbringer. Tested beyond the bounds of their abilities, Diana and Alia must find a way to unleash hidden strengths and forge an unlikely alliance. Because if they are to have any hope of saving both their worlds, they will have to stand side by side against the tide of war.
My Thoughts:
I wasn't really sure what to expect, as I don't know that much about Wonder Woman, partially because I don't really read/watch DC comics/shows. But I was pleasantly surprised.
In the beginning of the book, Diana is resented by the people because she does not fit in with the other Amazons. While trying to win their approval in a race, she finds a girl nearly drowning and saves her. She then finds a way to bring her away from the island and tries to stop the bad things from happening by hunting for a legendary spring.
I really liked the characters. Diana, Alia, and Theo were very well developed characters. I wish more of the characters had that depth.
Also that (SPOILER) betrayal from Jason was so unexpected and fresh.
I would definitely recommend this book!
My Rating: 5 stars
