But now Diana will have to step directly into the spotlight and muster all her wisdom, strength, and courage to battle villains Max Lord and The Cheetah and save humankind from a world of its own making, proving she is a hero for our time, for all time, for everyone.Trigger Warnings: Grief, violence, Review: The first Wonder Woman film is one of my favourite Superhero films, so I was highly anticipating reading Wonder Woman 1984: Ready for Battle. However, I ended up being disappointed in the direction the story went. I did enjoy that in the book we follow three perspectives Diana, Maxwell and Barbara, it was great to get more insights into the characters. Also, it’s important to note going into this book that the book abruptly cuts off before the last third of the movie, so it does leave you feeling unfinished and encourages you to watch the film. Overall, there were some moments that I enjoyed like the friendship between Diana and Barbara, and seeing past characters again, but the story felt rushed and cliched at times. Thank you to Scholastic Australia for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review. -- source link
