What if you could harness the power of quantum physics to find a missing person? That’s the bet Brigid is taking to find her husband, quantum physicist Matt Bronik. Matt had been suffering from strange seizures that medical science couldn’t explain. Then his prodding of the quantum universe led to his strange disappearance. With Matt’s life in clear danger, Brigid sets out to find him. Will Matt be killed before she reaches him, or could the physics that endangered him actually be used to save his life?

My original plan was to celebrate the big opening weekend for the Wonder Woman sequel. However, I have to hold off on all of that because Wonder Woman 1984 has been delayed until Christmas. Although, with the way things are going, I wouldn’t be surprised if the movie was further delayed until 2021. That may be good news for book nerds who want to get in plenty of Wonder Woman reading before seeing Gal Gadot portray her once again on the big screen. If you’re looking for a quick bite of Wonder Woman goodness, then pick up Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo.
Princess Diana longs to prove herself to her legendary warrior sisters. However, when the opportunity comes, she throws it away (and breaks Amazon law) by rescuing a mortal.
Alia Kerlias just wanted to spend a semester at sea away from her overprotective brother. After a bomb detonates aboard her ship, she is forced to accept the horrible truth. Alia is a Warbringer. As a direct descendant of Helen of Troy, she is fated to bring about an age of global bloodshed and misery.
Together, Diana and Alia form an unlikely alliance in the hope of stopping the tide of war and finally ending the Warbringer curse.
What I enjoyed most about Wonder Woman: Warbringer is getting in this book what I didn’t get in the first Wonder Woman movie, which was more time on Themyscira and a deeper dive into the associated mythology. Although the majority of Warbringer takes place in the World of Man, the book still spent plenty of time on the island. I also appreciated the beautiful damsel in distress needing protection being a young Black woman.
Overall, I absolutely loved Wonder Woman: Warbringer. It’s an adventurous hero’s journey that can be enjoyed by both teen and adult readers, and it will most certainly have you geeked about Wonder Woman’s return to theaters.
Until next time bookish friends,
