I didn't think I was going to love this book so much. At first, everything seemed quite futile and naive to me, especially Catherine. We had a very magical and princess-ish atmosphere, with lots of glitter. I had a hard time liking it, since I usually read darker fantasy. But this ending, omg!! I had already managed to guess the Jabberwock subplot, but I didn't expect it to come to that. I love how Catherine completely changed. But her character didn't convince me more than that, other than in the last few chapters. Very good rewrite to explain the past of the Queen of Hearts, even if it lacked some complexity to my liking. And that last sentence, wow, gave me chills! But my poor Jest 🥲
