Whew. Definitely started In Media Res. Nazis attacking Themyscira in the past I think. Then we pick up where the previous volume left off.

Diana is having second thoughts that she can make the world better. And then to make matters worse, the Government sics a psy-ops guy on her. I did not like that part and felt like it didn't quite ring true to Diana's character.

It's also a sort of lowest common denominator plot. Oh, then men with guns don't want the powerful woman to have any power. Go figure. That's life in 2018.

I did really like the stuff on Themyscira though, and it was definitely a different sort of use of Paula too.

And of course, because of the cliffhanger ending, they've hooked me if there's a third volume as well.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment. ( )
