Edit: Changed my mind. Doesn't deserve three stars.
I read this book today because I just wanted to get it over with. Good thing I'm such a fast reader! I had to wait for another book anyway, so I read it to kill the time I had to wait. Yeah, I don't like being bored.
This book was a bit better then the first in the series. I didn't see as much spelling and grammar errors as in the other one, which is great. The story still has that Alice in Wonderland vibe and because of that I don't think I will be reading the next book in the series.
I am aware that this is a really short review, but I just don't have anything else to say about it. I'm sorry Laura, it just isn't my cup of tea. That has nothing to do with your writing skills, absolutely not. Keep on writing and maybe I will read another book of you in the future.

Laura Hart's writing style is incredibly lyrical which makes this story incredibly easy to read.
Although this was apparent in the Toy Sorcerer, she has managed to refine her style even more.
Everything comes together in this book, the characters have fleshed out more, their back-stories are compelling.
My favourite character to date has to be Ruthergore, he appears to be a man of many layers, flawed, damaged and utterly believable.
The whole affair has become more sinister as the world sinks into utter chaos, yet you get to see glimpses of humanity and compassion that give you that genuine ahhh moment.
Even the dream worlds have less of a Alice in wonderland style and it suits it more.
I have to say that if Laura keeps on improving at this rate I cannot WAIT to read the next book!!
I know this is a short review, and it deserves a longer one, but I can think of nothing more to say without giving away the storyline except
*Gush gush gush*
