Opis: The Last Adventure of Constance Verity - A. Lee Martinez
Soon to be a major motion picture starring actress/comedian Awkwafina
(Crazy Rich Asians; The Farewell) as Constance Verity: the girl who's
been saving the world since she was seven.
It all began at Constance Verity's seventh birthday party, when she
defeated a giant snake - but really, it was the fault of the magic wish
granted to her at her birth. She's now a master of exotic martial arts
and a keen detective, and she possesses a collection of strange
artefacts, mostly kept in unlabelled boxes in her apartment.
But Constance has spent the past twenty-seven years saving the world,
and frankly, she's sick of it. She wants an office job and a normal
boyfriend - one who isn't going to get killed by who knows what - and
she's figured out the way to get them. She's going to kill her fairy
godmother. After all, it was Grandmother Willow who granted the wish and
reset her life. The problem is, saving the world is Constance's destiny.
She's really good at it, and there are forces at work to make sure she
stays in the job.
Then again, it's also her destiny to have a glorious death.
'An ethnically diverse heroine, great adventure pacing, a witty sense of
humour and some quality banter make this a delightful subversion of
superhero tropes' Booklist (starred review)
'Martinez delivers another witty, fast-paced fantasy. The deadpan snark
is nonstop and sure to keep readers giggling' Library Journal
