Description of  The Search for WondLa

A few more small details that I liked were some of the plays on names (Eva Nine = ninth Eve being the most obvious of them) and her shock of how inadequate Muthr's original cocoon parenting strategy initially was and some of the surprises at the end. There's a bit of focus on a reverse anthropology going on too (making the strange familiar) that makes the ending more interesting too. I'd pegged Eva's WondLa as somehow relating to The Wonderful Land of Oz (which actually occurred to me thirty pages into the book) and it was really interesting to see how that WondLa and the hope that Eva assigned to it shifted from being something concretely external into something more nebulously internal.
