A Dream So Dark by L.L. McKinney

5.0

A Dream So Dark:
-Picks up right were the first ended
-Still love Alice's voice. Unapologetically black and proud and comfortable in her skin. No code switching for the white sensibility.
-Action packed.
-Moms in the know now
-Day with mom and grandma <3
-Courtney gets in on the adventure
-Meet more guardians and warriors
-More traveling in our world and Wonderland
-More backstory of the queens and knights
-Bi/pan/queer crushes/flirting/interactions. There's no real romancing or relationships going on with the battles and saving the worlds. Loads awkward feels and dancing around.
-Dragons!
-Monsters escalate
-Some mysteries solved...
-The fight continues
-VERY curious how things will go next. There's gotta be some talking and some lines drawn and a bigger picture end game going.

Also. it's not "random" or "pandering". PEOPLE BE GAY. It doesn't have to ~impact~ the story or them get *buried* to justify it, you fucking straight ding dongs!
