Synopsis

The third and final book of Constance Verity’s epic adventure in which saving the world is easy—everything that comes after is the tricky part.The Adventurer. The Great Snurkab. The Caretaker. Constance Verity returns, having accepted and secured her place in the universe while juggling her expanded life. Until she comes up against The Caretaker’s nemesis, a foe she can’t just beat the hell out of, Connie must defeat the idea of inevitable entropy, the end of everything.Impossible you may think, but Connie always has an angle, and this time it’s by upping her game, by stopping enough calamities, by answering every tug at her innate sense of adventure, she can build up enough power to counteract the end of the universe. The problem is, she’s still a human woman, and even she can’t keep this up for long. As she starts to fade her friends figure out a way to help: Destroy the world.“An ethnically diverse heroine, great adventure pacing, a witty sense of humor, and some quality banter make this a delightful subversion of superhero tropes.”—Booklist (starred)

A Lee Martinez is one of my favorite authors, so you can bet I was stoked to win an early reader copy of this book! It was the best of the series. It was funny and quotable.

Goodreads review by Kate on November 15, 2021

What? Constance Verity, heroine extraordinaire, destroying the universe? Isn't this the diametric opposite of her entire raison d'etre?! So us long-time Martinez fans are hooked from the start, dying to see how this could possibly come about. This teaser notwithstanding, I found the first part of the......more
