"So, she went from being the child of a village, loved and nurtured by all, to being a child of nothing and no one, with a swiftness that left scars so deep they might never heal."

The book isn't a novelisation of the 2025 movie, but it was released at around the time it was in production, so I've borrowed a film poster image ?
We're visiting our son in Ely for his birthday, and popping into Toppings for a Christmas present for my great-niece, I made an impulse purchase of the tagged.
It's based on the comics version of the character - sword-and-sorcery in Conan the Cimmerian's Hyborian Age - rather than R. E. Howard's prose version - historical adventure in medieval France - and I'm prepared to allow it a degree of schlock latitude, so anything better than that will ⬇️

pickThis was a nice distraction. You think you have it bad? Sonja takes a heap of bad turns and still comes out strong and on top. Sure, the scanty armor is just silly, but she's strong as well as sexy and takes no one's shit. Rock on with your bad self, Sonja.
Well this one's easy-character who shares your name #riotgrams
Re-read this this morning, for happiness. Gail Simone BRINGS it. I'd only ever read this month-by-month before. Was nice back-to-backing the issues. Now need to hie myself to the retailer, for vols 2 and 3. Well, after I'm done sitting in the wonderful sunlight, I mean. No better place to read.
