I feel dumb reading this because it’s so hard to grasp what’s actually happening and where everything is leading to. But it’s pretty interesting so far and the hatter is hot

I actually found this series a bit intriguing- at first. The concept of willing and unwilling participants taking turns taking the name of the legendary Alice and hunting down the White Rabbit so they may become her-amusing. Since we follow the 89th Alice, the protagonist is trying to overcome his mysterious past while trying to become Alice. The story is good for its many confusing flaws. Bloody and deadly, as this is a twisted version of Alice in Wonderland. The cast are flawed and very broken each with tragedy in their past twisting their views and actions. Even though the story could have used a bit (really do mean a bit only), it is very enjoyable, original and no added fillers (straight to the point).

I would have to re-read it in a future, as I was in between chapters so my ratings seems to be unfair. But I believe it is an enjoyable read if you are looking for something bloody, thrilling riddled in mysteries and original with great art. If you don't mind the language used :P

Do I recommend it:

I think as we continue with the chapters, more questions will be answered (or at least we will think we have more answers that might turn out to be false leads). The art is still clean in this one and while some of the panels are difficult to understand (like the ones with the regrets), I thought that I could understand the progression of the story much better this time around. The speech bubbles in these chapters were easier to understand as characters were given small symbols within them so we knew who was speaking rather than playing the guessing game. The story is pretty interesting and I do really like the genderbent Alice. I am excited to see what happens (and if I end up liking this more than [b:Pandora Hearts パンドラハーツ 1|1717890|Pandora Hearts パンドラハーツ 1|Jun Mochizuki|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1187333570s/1717890.jpg|1715221]).

Die Plotlinie mit der Ersatz-Alice und den Folgen gefällt mir super gut! Und auch sonst hab ich viel Spaß beim Lesen und miträtseln.

Der junge Mann namens Alice befindet sich immer noch in dem verrückten und kuriosen Wunderland. Mit dem Hutmacher soll er zur Raupenallee. Während Alice feststeckt kümmert sich der Hutmacher um den Grafen, der ausser Kontrolle ist und Wunderland weiter ins Chaos bringt.

Band 2 war zwar nicht so holprig aber auch nicht besser. Man erfährt einen gewissen Zusammenhang zwischen dem Grafen und der Gräfin. Alle Charaktere müssen sich an Regeln halten und ihre Rolle spielen. So recht habe ich da einiges noch nicht durchgeblickt und manchmal kommen mir die Dialoge etwas durcheinander vor. Ein wenig hat man auch etwas von Alice Kindheit gesehen wie es scheint, aber was ist da schon sicher.
So recht weiss ich immer noch nicht was ich von halten soll, alles noch etwas konfus.
Grinsekatzen und Hutmacher mag ich sehr von den Zeichnungen her.
