Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event originally created and hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we are all eagerly anticipating. Jill has been MIA since August of 2016. Despite this, the meme lives on….Hope you come back Jill! Until then I will be joining Tressa at Wishful Endings and her meme Can’t-Wait Wednesday.
This week I’m eagerly waiting on Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo. My husband took me on a date last week to see the new movie and I have to admit I’m now a fan. As a kid, I loved Superman and thought Wonder Woman was a poor imitation of him. Yes, I know I’m a girl and how dare I feel that way….but I did. The new movie however had me rooting for her and wanting to be her. This book is the first in the new series DC Icons that highlights some of DC’s more popular heroes before they became the heroes we know them as. Personally I’m all for superhero stories 😀

She will become one of the world’s greatest heroes: WONDER WOMAN. But first she is Diana, Princess of the Amazons. And her fight is just beginning. . . .
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 mere mortal. Even worse, Alia Keralis is no ordinary girl and with this single brave act, Diana may have doomed the world.
Alia just wanted to escape her overprotective brother with a semester at sea. She doesn’t know she is being hunted. 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.
Together, Diana and Alia will face an army of enemies—mortal and divine—determined to either destroy or possess the Warbringer. If they have any hope of saving both their worlds, they will have to stand side by side against the tide of war.

I’m glad the Wonder Woman movie converted you to being a fan. She’s so much more than just the female Superman. Anyway, great pick. I’m a huge Wonder Woman fan and a big fan of Leigh Bardugo so it is the perfect match up for me. I can’t wait to read it.
