Actual rating: 3.5 stars 
 I'm clearly in the minority this time. 
 This story at best is only average. 
 The best thing about this book is the writing. Leigh Bardugo managed to create such narratives that could be easily visualized. It's like 'reading' a movie, and I like it very much. That's also one of the reason why I give this 3.5 instead of 3 or even 2 stars. 
 Another spot on execution is the characters, they're all 'okay'. They have enough background story, motives, etc, etc. But they're just "okay", "average". Far from awesome. I have even forgotten all of the characters inside this book except Diana... and... who is it again the girl depicted as the warbringer? *sigh* 
 My problem with this book is that it is 'NEAT'. But it doesn't come with something new in the genre of 'superheroes'. Reading this is like watching another superhero movies with the same old-recycled plots. There are several "compulsory" superhero tropes that also exist in this book. Such as: 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 - The betrayal of 'main character' closest person 
 - How the "hero" would get into the lowest point to show that 'she might lose!' but yeah, like every-goddamn-superhero-movie-ever, the hero would win anyway. 
 etc. 
 etc. 
 (hide spoiler)] 
 Not to mention that the first half of this book is slow and a bit boring... 
 I need to say that maybe, this happened because I HOPED Leigh Bardugo could come up with 'smart' superhero retelling that would blown my mind off. But yeah, just like how I watch superhero movies only as pure-entertainment (because of how cliche those movies are), this book also falls in the same category. 
 "An entertaining book that I will forget in less than 6 months" 
 sad :(
