Constance Verity is the World's Greatest Adventurer, having fought and triumphed over the forces of evil in all its forms and has saved this world — and countless others — on an almost daily basis.And she's sick and tired of it.Connie just wants to live a normal, boring life after spending so much of it with excitement and danger, so she sets off to undo the forces that conspire to make her life so fantastical. Unfortunately for her, those same forces don't want her to stop and insist that she continues her duty as The Chosen One for the sake of the universe. Question is: is Connie just going to let the universe push her around, or is she going to do something about it?The Last Adventure of Constance Verity is the eleventh novel written by A. Lee Martinez published in 2017, and the first in the Constance Verity trilogy before Constance Verity Saves the World and Constance Verity Destroys the Universe.In 2019, it was announced that the book would be adapted into a movie under Legendary, with Awkwafina playing the title role of Constance. | |

Brotherhood of Funny Hats | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_13556074 | comment |
Brotherhood of Funny Hats: Constance has the attention of a lot of secret societies with world domination on the brain, her old butler Jenkins having been a part of one of the "bad ones." Strangely enough, a lot of them want to blow up New Jersey for some reason. | |

The Exact Center of Everything | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_19947832 | comment |
The Exact Center of Everything: Not only is "The Engine" people who believe in Engine Theory talk about a real, physical machine that exists and not just a metaphor for the universe itself, it can be found at the center of the universe and can be accessed through spontaneously manifesting doorways. The last person to ever see it in person was Ada Lovelace, but she only had three minutes before she was ejected from its location, and scientists, spellcasters and other believers of Engine Theory have tried finding it ever since. | |

Faceless Goons | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_2044af1 | comment |
Faceless Goons: Discussed. In "the old days", secret societies and other sinister cabals would make their soldiers wear uniforms was a good way to strip them of their identities, but it also made it easier for saboteurs like Connie to break in unnoticed, not to mention it lowered morale by reminding them of just how replaceable they are. | |

Punch-Clock Villain | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_20860a0e | comment |
Punch-Clock Villain: Connie once ruined a first date by assuming that the suave man she was seeing was The Hyena, an infamous assassin. While she was right on his identity, she was wrong in that he wasn't sent to kill her; he actually was going on a normal date that just so happened to be with Constance Verity and wasn't planning on killing her. While she apologized for the injuries that ensued, he didn't return her calls. | |

Plot Armor | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_2a44899 | comment |
Plot Armor: Discussed. While Connie isn't exactly invincible, she has a much higher success rate than any other adventurer. It's implied that not only is the spell that makes her a Weirdness Magnet making her capable of overcoming the odds, but that it also ensures the The Good Guys Always Win all-around. When Connie has her spell removed, various other adventurers she's worked with start dying or suffering some other grim fate at an accelerated rate. Harrison immediately blames Connie for this, reasoning that by removing her chosenness, she had tipped the scales from triumph to tragedy, which will only escalate into the full-on collapse of the universe. | |

Analogy Backfire | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_2b5ab7c1 | comment |
Analogy Backfire: Arthur Arcane tries to explain that Connie's wish to be "normal" isn't as simple or quantifiable as she thinks it is by referring to it as "flipping a switch." Connie then remarks that she knows several individuals with Time Machines. He then remarks that no "normal person" solves their problems with time travel. | |

Psychopathic Manchild | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_3ae6199a | comment |
Psychopathic Manchild: While Harmony and Equity were artificially matured to an adult age, they are only seven years old (the ideal time when the Chosen One spell activates) and they killed the scientists that created them because they "served their purpose" after making them, though limited TV time and broccoli were definitely factors in that decision. | |

Because Destiny Says So | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_3f70415 | comment |
Because Destiny Says So: The people who believe in Engine Theory have a Deterministic view of how the universe functions, thinking that all of the strange things happening on a day-to-day basis are a part of the universe's "Engine" acting as intended, The Chosen One (Constance Verity) being a form of "maintenance" to keep it running properly. Though believers of Engine Theory can't seem to agree if the engine running business as usual is a good thing or a bad thing, Connie likening it to pseudo-spiritual claptrap running on "Armchair Metaphysics" and is no different than every other Cult she's encountered over the years. | |

Damsel in Distress: Being Connie's obligatory Muggle friend, Tia has been involved in a lot of Connie's adventures as more of a Living MacGuffin before she ultimately decides to become her sidekick. Her wedding was crashed by mobsters, she was kidnapped by swamp monsters, two different types of robots, Satanists, marsupial men, merfolk from Atlantis, aliens, fire worshippers, pirates (both the normal kind and "the singing kind"), a giant chimpanzee and vampire Al Capone. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Engine was created to instill order onto every facet of a chaotic universe. It eventually came to the conclusion that it could only accomplish such a task by destroying everything, and it's even implied that it killed its creators when they realized that it came to this conclusion. | |

Narnia Time | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_47e61b99 | comment |
Narnia Time: When her family moved to Nowhere, Montana to get away from all of the weirdness she attracts, Connie wound up being transported into space by a wormhole under their house. While from everyone else's perspective she was only gone a month, she experienced a year's worth of adventuring. It only seems to apply to her mentally, as her body didn't age in the allotted time. It had also sent her to the past, as Area 51 was built as a tribute to her on behalf of the alien civilizations she saved many decades before she was actually born. | |

Eldritch Abomination: The Hungry Earth is exactly what it sounds like; it's the Earth itself, and it's hungry. It's partially hollow (hence why there would be underground neanderthals in one of Connie's past adventures), but the rest of it is a giant monster with a gaping maw and tentacles. The book starts with a Cult trying to sacrifice Constance to it, only for them to get eaten instead. | |

Refusal of the Call: Thelma insists that if Connie really wanted to stop adventuring, all she had to do was not heed the call to adventure when it happens. She only winds up involving herself in the Ancient Conspiracy after she has her spell lifted more out of force of habit than because it was destined so, so Thelma might have a point. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball: In-Universe. Connie complains that time-travel is not only confusing, but the rules behind it are never consistent, citing that she's been able to alter history, but has also experienced Stable Time Loops and Alternate Timelines. | |

Area 51 | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_95d5fa0e | comment |
Area 51: The titular location was actually built by aliens as a "Constance Verity Museum" for intergalactic tourists as a tribute from all of the alien civilizations she saved during the month (a year from her perspective) she went missing through space and time via a wormhole under her family's house. | |

The Needs of the Many: The Muroids who commissioned the Godmother Corps into giving Connie her magical blessing knew that the candidates who didn't become The Snurkhab would either die or be traumatized for life, but they considered a "handful of souls" was worth the sacrifice if it meant they would have the Snurkhab saving the universe from peril. | |

Benevolent Conspiracy | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_a52faac6 | comment |
Benevolent Conspiracy: There is an expansive number of secret societies and organizations on and off-world who conspired to ensure that Constance would fulfill her destiny to become The Chosen One and keep the universe from collapsing into entropy as Engine Theory dictates. They even conspired every factor in her personal life since the moment she was activated to make sure she had a proper work-life balance, both to maximize the positive results of her adventuring and to keep her from discovering the truth. This is deconstructed when Connie finds out about it, as while everyone else seems to think it was all worth it given all the good she's done, she is not happy to feel manipulated into fulfilling a role she never asked for. Nor is she happy to find out that what little normalcy and stability she ever had was itself just another facet of the constant weirdness she attracts. | |

Aesop Collateral Damage: Harrison sends Connie a file of the various allies she's made over the years to her that reveals that they have been dying en masse after she had her spell lifted, reasoning that her actions had led to all of their deaths (or worse) as the price paid for her new normal life. Having suffered the deaths of friends before, not to mention finding Harrison's reasoning tenuous at best, Connie isn't effected by his attempts at a dire warning. | |

Take That!: Dana invites Connie to a poetry slam at a local coffee shop, the scene portrayed under a thick layer of hipster stereotypes (self-important weirdos in funny hats reading badly written spoken word about capitalism and the patriarchy), Connie quickly losing her patience with a barista trying (and failing) to talk her into ordering one of their fancy lattes. When Tia deconstructs Connie's collapsing relationship with one of her ex's (Trevor), she points out how judgemental she got, particularly in his taste in movies. When Connie points out that his favorite movie was Ghostbusters II, Tia relents that it's a "big strike". | |

Southern Gothic | |

Southern Gothic: Of all the places Connie hates going to, it's the state of Kansas, mainly because she's had the most weird things happen to her there. Every town is a Town with a Dark Secret, she uncovered the philosopher's stone while trying to bury the family pet, she uncovered a civilization of sentient cockroaches hiding in an apartment complex and the Sunken City of Chaos Gods is buried beneath Wichita, she stopped a conspiracy to start World War III devised by the brain of Adolph Hitler there, she was almost eaten by cyborg cannibals, and one of every ten cultists out to destroy the universe (for reasons) came from Kansas. It's also one of the few places where her adventures came close to actually killing her, adding another reason why she hates the state so much. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: After Hiro saves Connie and Tia from The Countess, Connie thinks "Of all the secret vaults in all the world, he'd have to walk into hers," a reference to the iconic Humphrey Bogart line — "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine" — from Casablanca. Connie's conversation with The Engine in the climax has a lot in common with Neo's conversation with The Architect in The Matrix Reloaded; The Engine reveals to Connie that her status as The Chosen One is nothing but a byproduct of the perfect system they designed, and that by returning that byproduct to the system and absorbing it, it can complete its final equation and remake the Multiverse into the "perfect order" it designed. Connie being the one variable it can't predict with 100% accuracy, she manages to outwit all of its attempts at absorbing her. | |

Friendly Pirate: On top of being kidnapped by typical marauding pirates, Tia has also been kidnapped by "the singing kind. Dashing and swarthy and full of good cheer and honor of the sea." Tia managed to get into the good graces of the crew of the Cursed Melody because she could sing mezzo-soprano and wound up in a whirlwind romance with their Captain Sullivan.

Despair Event Horizon: Agent Harrison hits this after he fails to convince Connie to go back to adventuring.

Allergic to Routine: While Connie insists that she wants to turn her back on all the weird, death-defying things in her life, Tia points out how Connie doesn't really know what to do with the normal things in her life that she already has, Connie having a tendency to break promises with her friends and break-up with her non-adventuring boyfriends when they start to bore her. This all plays into the underlying fear she has that she isn't cut out for a normal life if she ever got it. | |

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_ec7da60a | comment |
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Not only is Al Capone still alive, but he's a vampire that rules over a city underneath Chicago. There are hundreds of instances where the prophecy of the "Great Engine" was relayed to prophets and seers throughout the years in one form or another. Such examples include: a chapter cut from later editions of Little Women that Louisa May Alcott wrote while high on opium, a papyrus written by the Pharaoh Ptah relaying a message from the gods, a recording of Thomas Edison fortelling doom when played backwards, a machine that writes only "Chaos" (having been designed by Euclid, improved upon by Isaac Newton and built by Charles Babbage), and a journal detailing the final words of Helen Keller. Benjamin Franklin was "America's greatest sorcerer", having written a book on magical theory that Connie keeps (a first edition, no less) in her personal library. Author and Mathematician Ada Lovelace was the last known person to see The Engine in person. | |

Underground City | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_eddfe7e5 | comment |
Underground City: There seems to be an alarming number of them on Connie's adventures. There is a city beneath Chicago ruled by a Vampire Monarch that used to be famous mobster Al Capone. There is a "Sunken City of the Chaos Gods" under Wichita, Kansas. | |

The Chosen Wannabe | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_ef19b93c | comment |
The Chosen Wannabe: It's revealed that Root, the conspirator that helped remove the caretaker spell from Connie, originally had the spell before it was given to Connie. He had lived for a full-year as The Chosen One before it was decided that he wasn't a proper fit for it and it was taken from him. Ever since, he developed a deep-seated grudge against Connie for "stealing" what he assumed was his destiny. | |

Mundane Utility: Not only had Connie found the Holy Grail, she uses it as a planting pot for her asparagus fern to keep it from dying on her. | |

Evil Twin | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_f2dadf81 | comment |
Evil Twin: Connie admits to having an evil twin with a distinct Yugoslavian accent and a propensity for sleeping with her boyfriends, so she gives Byron (who she's agreed to try a relationship with) in advance. | |

Cosmic Keystone | |
| The Last Adventure of Constance Verity / int_f6b7820b | comment |
Cosmic Keystone: The Engine is a great machine that exists at the Exact Center of the universe that "makes everything run". No one knows who built it (or even if it had a builder and it didn't just build itself) and people who believe it exists can't seem to agree if the Engine running is what keeps the universe going or if it stifles its development, or whether or not either of those things are good or bad. Connie's destiny as The Chosen One is intrinsically linked to The Engine and she either exists to keep it running or to eventually destroy it. It's eventually revealed that it was created by an ancient race of aliens to instill order to a disorderly multiverse, and it thinks that it can accomplish that by purging all of the "variables", i.e. a Class X-5 apocalypse. | |

Human Pet: The only "exhibit" the Snurkhab Museum has on Tia are a few pictures and a label calling her "Connie's pet". | |
