A review by geekwayne
The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor

2.0

A retelling of Alice In Wonderland that works in some ways, and doesn't work in others. There are some interesting characters, but when it was all said and done, I was underwhelmed. Maybe because this has been done in other places in ways I've enjoyed more.

I liked the Royal bodyguard Hatter Madigan, General Doppelganger and Cat the assassin, but the rest of it just left me flat. Maybe I like my alternate Alice to be a bit edgier than she was here. Perhaps in later books she becomes that, but I'm not sure I'll read more in the series.
