Ever Alice by H. J. Ramsay
3.0
Thanks to Red Rogue Press for the ARC!
In this book, Alice is 15 and returns to Wonderland.
At the beginning of the story, she's living in an asylum, since her family believes she's mad. She hates being called "mad". She insists that everything she lived in Wonderland was real, but no one believes her. She's hopeless, but then the White Rabbit shows up and she realizes that it's time to go back to Wonderland to help her friends, who are still suffering under the Queen's command.
"Ever Alice" is like a sequel to the original story, preserving the main elements and bringing new ones too. I like the fact that it was told from Alice's and the queen's points of view, because we were able to get to know the thoughts and feelings of them both, and sometimes that's the only way to fully understand the villain.
It was a good read. I think everyone who loves the Wonderland universe will enjoy it too.
The only reason I'm not giving more stars is because it wasn't the kind of book that I wanted to finish in a day.
