The last chapter saved this book. I think that often times, stories can be told with less words to make it more powerful. This is one book that would have benefitted from more editing.

adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

A well done backstory to one of Alice in Wonderland's darkest characters.

This book left me devastated. I was rooting for, hoping for and shipping Catherine and Jest, even though I knew it was doomed from the beginning. It didn't go/end as I thought it would, but their fate became even worse. The beginning is really slow and I had to get through that (one of the two reasons I only gave it 3.5 stars), but once I got through that, I loved it! The other reason I only gave it 3.5 stars, is that I sometimes felt Cath could have stepped up more, but I guess that's her character, but still. Read it for yourself... It left me heartbroken
