I think A Crown So Cursed did a pretty solid job of concluding the plot that was going on, and it did a pretty solid job of concluding Alice's arc in specific, but I felt that there were some threads left untied from the previous book that I really wanted to see closed up in this one, so I'm hoping that we either get some sort of spin-off or bonus book in The Nightmareverse to wrap up all those final loose ends and explain some things a little further that I felt were kind of neglected within A Crown So Cursed.

The pacing felt off - the three quarters of the book felt like set up for an ending that felt rushed. 

Still well written, and I still love the characters, so overall enjoyable.

I can’t recommend this series enough! It’s action-packed. It’s gut wrenching at times, but beautifully written. I was transported to a world both new and nostalgic. This one is going to sit with me for a while!!

This was a fantastic wrap up to the series and I sincerely hope we get more in this world! This book includes characters attending a comic con, full-on Wonderland shenanigans, twists and drama. I love this world of dream walkers and madness and will easily recommend it to everyone 😊
