Book Review: Battle For Wondla

Wondla! Derived from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in a futuristic Earth, Battle For Wondla finishes in the story of Eva Nine

Battle For Wondla
Tony DiTerlizzi
The Battle For WondLa (WondLa, #3) 

All hope for a peaceful coexistence between humankind and aliens seems lost in the third installment of the WondLa trilogy. Eva Nine has gone into hiding for fear of luring the wicked Loroc to her companions. However, news of the city Solas being captured by the human leader, Cadmus Pryde, forces Eva into action once again. With help from an unlikely ally, Eva tries to thwart Loroc’s ultimate plan for both mankind and the alien life on Orbona.

I have always been a fan of Tony DiTerlizzi, every since I read the Spiderwick Chronicles.  This book sounded so great, I had to go through the whole series! I absolutely love the artwork throughout all of these books--it really adds to the story that they are all black and white with pale orange in some spots.  

This story started out amazing, continued amazingly in the second book, and blew my mind in this one.  The idea of Earth, having struggled and humans having to hide underground is a great enough concept.  But we have heard stories of Humans traveling to other planets and terraforming, but it is rare that we have a story where other lifeforms terraform Earth.  This is a refreshing take on Science Fiction.

Eva Nine has grown throughout these 3 books.  DiTerlizzi has done an amazing job at pacing Eva's growth physically, mentally, and emotionally. Eva's transformation is believable as is her growth in her multiple relationships.

This book WILL NOT disappoint, and the sooner you read it, the better.
