I really enjoyed this, it was such a fun read. It felt like the author really loved the idea of Wonderland and wanted to add to it (sometimes books like these feel more like they want to force a pre-existing concept into their own version). There was something about this that just sucked me in from the first few chapters.

I truly loved this book. It was super cute and very unique. I find it hard to define this book or describe it in a way that does it justice. It was odd but cute, unique but felt classic, twisted and sinister yet somehow still a comforting read. I love the premise and setting. I adored the twisted changes to wonderland and all the little punk details. I really liked Alyssa as a main character. Both Jeb and Morpheus felt a little forced to me, but I still enjoyed their characters. I can definitely see myself reading this book again.
