"Granted a wish at birth, Constance Verity has become one of the world's great adventurers. A master of exotic martial arts and a keen detective, she is in possession of a collection of strange artifacts, which are mostly kept in unlabeled boxes in her apartment. Constance has spent the past twenty years saving the world, and she's sick of it. She wants an office job and a boyfriend 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--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."--… (plus d'informations)

A very fun read, troperific in all the right ways.

A. Lee Martinez is another author I used to go out of my way to read, but I just wound up setting aside, mostly due to a feeling that after his first 5 or 6 novels he was running out of ideas. This meant that it took awhile for me to pick up this story from 2016. My overall opinion? Quite good. Martinez was retained his overall wiseguy tone, and has not lost his talent for eviscerating cliches. What is different is that the man seems to be trying to pull up his skill level, and the Constance Verity of the title is the best character Martinez has come up with yet. I look forward to the remaining books of the trilogy with some optimism. ( )

Well, this was fun. It was like a pulp SFF story gone meta. I enjoyed it while reading it, and thought it quite clever at times for playing around with common genre tropes and themes. I did find it a bit shallow, character development-wise since the book's so focused on the plot and making the characters seem clever, that I never felt like I bonded with them.

Still, I enjoyed it, and will be looking forward to the further adventures of Constance Verity. ( )

Short and fun, hilarious ( )

Wasn't for me. I can see the humor but it didn't land it, and there wasn't much else for me to grab onto. Kind of Buffy x Hitchhiker's Guide. ( )
