Love all the feminist references and the fact that the girls manage to be bad ass while still being wholly appropriate for preteen readers. 4/5 because the art style isn't my favorite and the abrupt dialogue style can be a bit hard to follow and lacks depth.

Loved starting with the backstory between Diana and War - but the "family picture" final frame? The best.

I really enjoyed this volume (a) because I love origin stories, (b) I love relationship and battle stories, and (c) this felt more serious and grown up than volume one. As before I love the art, but I felt like this volume was a little inconsistent. Never bad, but a characters features would look totally different one page to the next.

Meh. Cool world- building (like Haven but ghosts) but the depth of the characters and the writing generally left a lot to be desired. Also, I found her "romance" sections to be awkwardly written. The chemistry between the pair just wasn't established.

I... don't know what to say exactly. The art, while at times a bit ridiculous, is beautiful and full of details and colors. I didn't connect with/appreciate/enjoy Diana in the slightest in this. That hurts a little because her character is generally so dynamic for me. Further, she uses some insults and language that is sexiest and far from body positive, though it's my hope that as this is an origin story, Diana will be learning the error in her ways as she grows up. I'm cautiously hopeful that this is an opportunity to show us how Wonder Woman becomes the pillar of self-acceptance and strength that we're used to, perhaps by confronting her own negative preconceived stereotypes. Beth Candy is a Beth Ditto and/or Rebel Wilson caricature which, while theoretically as fun as those women undoubtedly are, felt forced and cliche to me. Rebel Wilson isn't funny because she is a "wise cracking plus size woman," she is successful because she has an actual personality, which I didn't feel from Beth Candy.

It's been a long time since I read an entire book in one evening, even a 305 page shorty. I love this author for that. Always the right mix of lightness, relaxation, and ease with interesting plots and such fun and subtle pieces of fantasy and magic. It's like a quilt and coco in book form.
