The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor
4.0
I quite enjoyed this one, although I'm always up for a twist on a classic. I wouldn't recommend reading this unless you've read 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass' since the whole premise of this book is based on those two childhood classics. (I had to quickly read them after getting a couple of chapters into this book and realizing that I was missing out on too much of the assumed universe of this story).
This has a bit of the demented flavor of the American McGee's 'Alice' video game, which I had fun playing ten years ago, which is probably another reason I liked it.
Alyss was a reasonably likable heroine, Hatter Madigan was cool, and the other twisty reflections of the characters from the Carroll books were fun as well. Sigh, yet another series I'll have to follow.
