Thanks go to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. When I saw Wonder Woman AND Leigh Bardugo combined in one book, I knew it was going to be something special, and Wonder Woman: Warbringer did not disappoint. As much as I loved the story, perhaps my favorite aspect of the book is the way that the artist combined a mostly cool color palette of blues and grays with judicious use of warm tones at specific parts of the plot. It really enriched the experience of the book as a whole.

Wonder Woman: Warbringer, the graphic novel based on the novel by the same name is a fast quick read about a young Diana doing what she does best. Protecting those that need her protection and finding the balance between doing what is right and what needs doing.
The story starts with Diana trying to prove that she deserves her place among the Amazons, and throws away her golden opportunity to show her skills when she finds a young mysterious woman on her island that brings danger to the Amazons by being there and risks it all to save both the girl and the world. Alia is a Warbringer, a descendant of Helen of Troy destined to bring about war with her very presence and together with Diana they will face many enemies that want to stop Alia before she can begin and those that want to use her calamity to their benefit.
Warbringer was a beautifully colored book. I love the use of the blues/greens throughout most of the story and other colors, largely red, as accent colors that define certain things, like fights or the sky to mark the passage of time. I found it very striking and enjoyed it very much.
The story itself is interesting and fun, a great way for younger readers to connect with Diana and the wealth of mythology her character brings into stories and how fun it can be to be interpret stories differently (like Helen of Troy.)
I think this graphic novel will find lots of readers.
