Ever Alice by H. J. Ramsay
3.0
When I first saw Ever Alice and read the description I was really excited to check it out. I love Alice in Wonderland and thought a continuation from someone else's view would be interesting. I was right but only at first. The writing itself is very Lewis Carroll and the story starts out perfectly for an Alice in Wonderland theme. However, halfway through I found the story start to drag and filler was added. This novel could have easily been closer to 250 pages while keeping all the good parts of the story.
While there were parts I didn't like, there are others I did. I loved how the author was able to bring the world to life in their own way and kept with the strange theme. The author added characters which helped make this a unique story. I also liked how there were back stories to original characters.
Over all I'm mixed with this novel. I loved parts and others I could have done without. It took me longer to finish the story because I felt like I was being pulled out when it came to the slower parts. If you want a new Alice in Wonderland story and can focus through slower parts of a story then I recommend giving Ever Alice a try.
