maplessence's review against another edition

This review is only for Queen Lily by [a:Theodora Goss|11890|Theodora Goss|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1446393489p2/11890.jpg] But I really enjoyed this short story, so I don't rule out trying some more writings in this issue at some point.
Very definitely you have to be in the mood to work hard as a reader, be a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, have some familiarity with Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell's backstory - and love the fantastic.I had vague memories (at one stage I was worried this was going to become an extremely uncomfortable read!) of Carroll's (Charles Dodgson's) creepy obsession with Alice. But this story is way more than that, and I was carried into a world that was so inspired - and I don't say that lightly.
It is a wonderful, but not an easy read. Grateful thanks to Tadiana's delightful review for filling in the gaps in my knowledge.

A lot of well written stories this month, but so many of them were really depressing.
