Surprisingly exciting, with the characters being more fleshed out. I liked the ending, as not everything was solved and tied up in a nice little bow. It was realistic. I especially like Molly, although I wasn't satisfied with Dodge. He was a little weak. All in all however, a beautiful ending to the series.

I liked this one most out of the three I believe.. But there is something about the pacing that left me not NEEDING to read it. It's almost like the first book isn't exciting ENOUGH, and the second two are too exciting all the time... so there's never any real suspence. Nonetheless.. the series is a keeper. As a lover of all things Alice, I am happy to have these three Alyss books on my shelf. :)

3.5. Awful ending...bad love story, but some really good parts throughout. It didn't seem fully formulated.

First of all I was disappointed that the book was not as beautifully decorated as the first 2 books.

The true purpose of the Oracles and main plot points were not connected very well as there was nothing in the first 2 books to even give the reader an inklings of what was to happen.

I'm curious to see if this will wrap up the series or will Beddor give us more.

Neighboring country of Boarderland is planning an invasion, and never has Wonderland been so vulnerable. With all it's people and Queen still recovering from their lack of imagination, Alyss and her group race to find an advantage against King Arch's cunning and force. But events are taken out of control when the ancient oracles themselves intervene with shady motives-- who's side are they on?

You know a trilogy is successful when it reaches the last book and you feel the characters' desperation to triumph. I felt it in this book, and I really wanted the good guys to win. The good news is that I've gotten used to Beddor's style, and I was appreciate the story as it is. It presented different point of views, and even then, I couldn't predict precisely what was going to happen in the end. This is a great trilogy for young readers, with an awesomely reconstructed Wonderland, and with each book, it gets better.

To be perfectly honest - I wish I had read this back when it first came out. I read the first two books in the series years ago and LOVED THEM. But never got around to reading the third book. On re-read of the first and second book, I found myself not as thrilled with them. Quick, interesting, but also bordering on dull and obvious.

The third book was OK and a fine ending but not thrilling. I'm just glad to be done with it, honestly. Worth reading, yes, but don't expect much.
