The Last Adventure of Constance Verity by A. Lee Martinez

3.0

Constance Verity is fated to live a life of pulpy adventure, always saving the world from robots and ninjas and alien overlords, and it's a lot of fun to see author A. Lee Martinez throw out all sorts of outlandish scenarios as the background to that kind of life. Constance herself is tired of all the hassle, however, and this novel follows her attempts to find a way out of her fairy godmother's spell and settle down to be as boring as the rest of us. It's sort of a loose, meandering plot that doesn't quite hit the heights of Martinez's previous novels, but it's still very funny and an overall solid setup for what I understand is the author's first crack at an ongoing series.
