The timely arrival of Wonder Woman onto the big screen this year has seen a huge resurgence of adoration for the famed Princess of the Amazons. With Wonder Woman: Warbringer, Leigh Bardugo has proved herself to be a most worthy candidate for reimagining the Wonder Woman myth for a whole new generation of readers.

Part of a four-part companion series called DC Icons that will see seminal YA writers like Sarah J. Maas and Marie Lu take on legendary DC Comics superheroes, Wonder Woman: Warbringer has started the series off at an incredible high. This book will take its reader on an amazing adventure that is packed full of mythic drama, but which is also anchored by the compassion and warmth that makes Wonder Woman such a beloved character. There is true heart at the centre of this novel, and with it Leigh Bardugo has proven that the classic superhero is a natural fit for the voracious appetites of YA readers.
