The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor

4.0

I had a tough time at the start, because Alyss was pretty unlikable - the worst kind of spoiled princess - but compared to Redd she's a saint, so the story worked anyway.

It's a fun tweak of Alice in Wonderland, somewhat in the vein of Wicked/Wizard of Oz. I'd like to dig further into the secondary characters (particularly Hatter), though, because I found the main characters (Alyss and Dodge) to be really hard to like.
