Review of 'Wonder Woman' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I was provided with an eARC copy of this book for review purposes. All my opinions are my own.

Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed deals with the typical struggles of growing up along with some of the tougher social issues that many people face. The subject matter deals with racism, refugee experience, gentrification, human trafficking, and facing adversity. So, parents may want to keep that in mind when it comes to younger readers and be ready to answer any questions that they may have. (The recommended reading age is 15+).

My favorite quote from the book is, “When the rules are wrong – you have to break them. Especially when little ones are in trouble.” Diana witnessed a lot of injustice after leaving Themyscira to help those in need.

I found Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed to be a very inspirational read. Diana didn’t just observe what was going on around her. She got involved. She saw the injustice that refugees and immigrants face and fought back against it. She devoted all of her time to helping and providing for others in any way that she could, including feeding the hungry and physically fighting human traffickers. Diana saw some of the worst that humanity had to offer and she showed love, compassion, and kindness to those who were affected by it.
