Eva Nine from The Search for WondLa could kill Macbeth. Reasoning:

1. Gender clause: Eva is a girl.

2. Birth parent clause: she has no “birth parents” (I’ll explain in part 3)

3. Unconventional birth clause: Eva is a test tube baby, and was born in an underground lab. She was raised by her robotic “mother” until the age of 12.

Yes, Eva Nine from The Search For WondLa applies for the Gender Clause and Unconventional Birth Clause! I'm not so sure about the Birth Parent Clause, actually; do we have any confirmation on the identity of her creator, or is that information left ambiguous? Even if they did not conventionally birth her, they would still be credited with her creation for the Birth Parent Clause.

Thank you for your submission!

It still cracks me up that Eva's choice of weapon in the series is typically Giant Sonic Gun That Is Bigger Than Herself

And she still uses it to great success

#though i think she knocked herself over once or twice? yeah #tiny child :) #wondla #the search for wondla #eva nine #beans rambles #theres sonic pistols too lol #better suited to her height but nah she still uses the giant gun

ok gang, how are we feeling about Eva being aged up in the show?

#im a little heartbroken because i think Eva being twelve and on the cusp of adolescents but still very much a child was kind of important #but thats just me #and also does this mean Hailey is gonna be older too? and Gen?? #the search for wondla #wondla #tony diterlizzi

In anticipation of the A M A Z I N G series coming to AppleTV from Skydance Animation next year, I had the pleasure of refreshing the cover art for The WondLa trilogy. These new editions will available in hardcover or paperback on September, 2023.

WondLa book 1 36-37 liveblog:

they really let a twelve year old drive a hovercraft except it for sure would be easier to drive in a big empty area than on busy streets

Eva turning her back but secretly listening to Rovender and Muthur reconcile is soooo ough its such a child thing to do (as in being a child of two parents, trancending age)

doing CPR to gils is a rad af concept

the fact that the Goldfish runs on water is so damn cool i wish we had cars that ran on water (ik that hydrogen fuel is mildly similar but still- if they could run on salt water thatd be rad)

Muthur is called Muthur zero-six so I'm wondering if she was made when the Eva/Evan six was made and that perhaps she raised kids six through nine? I'll have to check later if Eight mentions anything about previous kids.

(Also I'm pretty sure there was talk of boys in the same position as the Evas named Evan but we gotta get to the city first before I can check on that)

#also major spoilers but like #picking up at my bookmark on 36 i was surprised muthur wasnt yknow- XP yet #the search for wondla #wondla #eva nine

Sci-fi/fantasy worldbuilding tropes that The Search for WondLa series checks off:

bigger versions of normal animals

deep, sentient forests

sky whales

glowing mushrooms

planet rings visible from ground

sun-drenched deserts with nothing for miles except some old, mysterious ruins

said desert is home to large (and usually hostile) burrowing invertebrates)

@sneakboots is there anything I missed?

Okay, I'm vibing at home procrastinating from writing so now's as good a time as any for this post that I owe @starbirdrising!

Behold: My Top Ten Fantasy Books/Series For When You Need Something With Magic And Kingdoms And Good Vs. Evil With Good Winning And Fun Adventures And Probably Dragons So Basically You Want To Read Narnia But Something New Would Be Fun:

"Valiant", by Sarah McGuire. I will recommend this book for as long as it takes the larger part of my followers to read it. It's a fantasy fairy tale retelling of "The Valiant Little Tailor", which is in the gray area between well known and "wait that's a real fairy tale??" where The Seven Swans and King Thrushbeard resides. The general plot is this girl moving to a new city with her dad, but due to unforseen circumstances she has to pretend to be a tailor to make a living. And then giants show up. And she accidentally gets involved. There is a bit of romance, but it's really, really good. Also the writing style is IMMACULATE and there's adoption. (this is one of the only single books on the list, the rest are series)

"The Dragon With A Chocolate Heart", by Stephanie Burgis. First of all, I should have asked for this for my birthday. Second of all, this is about a dragon who gets turned into a human. By a food mage. Have you heard of a food mage before? No, you haven't, but they're amazing. Especially when it comes to chocolate. So, said dragon sets off to seek her fortune as a chocolatier! Super fun platonic relationships, and there are DRAGONS

"The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In A Ship Of Her Own Making", by Catherynne M. Valente. How can you turn away from an incredibly cool name like that?? This is your classic portal fantasy-- girl travels by leapord to Fairyland, gets up to trouble with a Wyverary, and has to face off with an evil Marquess! Also it's a series, and the prose is freaking STUNNING. I reread the last one recently, and there was crying

"The Green Ember", by S.D. Smith. My sister just called this series "this generation's Narnia" and WOW is she right. The journey of two young rabbits as they discover their heritage and the war to save their world-- it's beautiful!! And also really funny

"Magic Marks The Spot", by Caroline Carlson. This one has PIRATES. It's about a navy admiral's rebellious daughter, who takes off to become a pirate instead of going to finishing school. It's funny and delightful and just such a good read!

"Breadcrumbs," by Anne Ursu. This rec is accompanied with a story, because I said so. So, when I used to actually have time and go to the library every week, I would always see this book. EVERY. TIME. It was weird. I ignored it for the longest time-- until finally one day I decided "may as well give it a shot" and brought it home with me. And HOLY HECK was it good. A retelling of The Snow Queen, this book is about friendship. And growing up. And it made me cry. And I love it.

"Storybound", by Marissa Burt. This one is a duology, and they're both amazing! The first one tells the story of Una, a girl who winds up in the world where stories come from. The sequel continues her adventures, and also introduces a character who I love so so much. He's so funny and carefree. Until he's not in which case holy SPADES IS HE COOL. Also I'm suddenly realizing this book may have inspired more of my WIP than I thought. I digress

"The Search For WondLa", by Tony DiTerlizzi. This is actually not fantasy. It is, in fact, sci-fi! It's about a girl who lives in an underground home with her robot caretaker. When their home is attacked, the girl escapes to discover that the Earth she thinks she was raised on isn't Earth after all-- it's another world entirely. It's got AMAZING found family, super cool world building, and it's just so fun!!

"Tuesdays At The Castle", by Jessica Day George. Okay it's been a while, so I don't remember the exact premise of this one. But as I recall, it's about a royal family who lives in a magical castle that can shift rooms and grow new parts as well! When the royal siblings' are under threat from foreign enemies, they have to work with the castle to protect each other. Super wholesome family vibes, and the series is really fun in general!

"Wizard For Hire", by Obert Skye. I could not tell you if or if not this is fantasy. But I can tell you that it's set in modern day, and it's about a boy who lived on his own from a young age after his parents disappeared. And one day, he finds an ad in the paper for a wizard, and hires him to find his parents. Shenanigans ensue (as well as really funny catchphrases and a lot of breakfast food. No one is surprised that I love this trilogy)

Well, that's all the room I have for now! This post was super fun to make-- I might make another bizarrely specific one like it someday! For now, thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy some of these book recs
