5 Words: What is a hero anyway? 
 Right from the start I knew I would enjoy this. Why? 
 * Wonder Woman 
 * Leigh Bardugo 
 I loved how canon lore was covered in the story. There were no info dumps, no random expositions dropped into the prose, but the background and history of the characters and Themyscira was woven into the writing and it was exquisite. I already knew the WHY and the HOW but this would be a perfect introduction to the world if you were unfamiliar. 
 I loved Diana's voice too. She is the first character we meet and her determination and huge heart made my own heart sing. I loved how she feels so under appreciated and that she's not good enough and that's so relatable. But the she has this tenacity, her will to prove herself to everyone around her, driving her on. Alia's storyline broke my heart a little. She, like Diana, feels under-appreciated but still has a huge heart. Although both are far from normal, they felt familiar to read. I think everyone has had similar doubts in their own self-worth. 
 Both characters prove that they are better than what everyone around them thinks. They stick it up to the haters, prove to themselves that yes, they can do it. It was empowering to read. 
 The only thing I didn't like was how Diana and Jason interacted. It always felt on the cusp of going somewhere I really didn't want it to. 
 Overall this was fantastic. The writing was beautiful and I fell in love with most of the characters. I loved how the idea of what makes someone a hero was explored.
