I LOVE retellings of classic books, and this was a good one. It had just the right amount of “romance” and a more in depth exploration of the wonderland world. I love that Alice had a mind that was in a way ahead of her time, and wasn’t afraid to have different opinions.

Liz Braswell did it again with this book! This is written with such an interesting style that it immediately captivated me and I did not want to put it down!! Do beware of several gory/bloody descriptions, though. Despite this, I fully enjoyed the mad, wonderful way this story happened and even the romantic subplot was done fantastically as well. I can't say enough about how unique this story was and I absolutely adored revisiting Alice.
