SPOILERS ALERT!!
I’m glad it is over. I’ve had enough.
This book is a novellas compilation that follows the events before, after and during the other books in the series.
Note: I highly recommend you read it after the 3rd book or you will get spoiled.
The boy in the web:
This was the second-best novella and it’s Alyssa’s mother story before she came crazy and when she met Thomas in the Sister Two's nest. This novella is the perfect background story to the series and we get to see Morpheus and Alyssa’s mother relation.
The moth in the mirror:
This story is more about Jeb and what he endured while staying with Morpheus. Not my favorite but if you’re one of those who doesn’t like Jeb (like me), after reading this you may hate him a little bit less.
Six Impossible Things:
We have a wedding, oh yeah!!!
This was the most emotional and the best novella of the book. It tells us the story of Alice getting married, having children, losing her beloved ones and going back to Wonderland to live the rest of her immortal life with Morpheus as The Red Queen.
If you’re as emotional as me, you won’t survive to this novella. Despite all the feelings, I couldn’t give the book a higher rate because it reaches a grade of cheesiness that makes it feel unrealistic and boring. I know, it’s a fantasy book and of course, it must be unrealistic, but this goes beyond that. As in the previous books, there were some unnecessarily poetic paragraphs. And at this point of the series, Alyssa shouldn’t be questioning her feelings anymore.
It’s not a bad book but it isn’t for everyone.
