**Spoilers**
The book was a really much darker version of Alice in Wonderland. Alyssa goes to fix Alice's mistakes. Thinking she's cursed because of her ancestor. You wouldn't have ever guessed she was actually never even her ancestor but the red queen. After her banishment she was still smart enough to be able to do what she did. It does explain the missing birth mark that would otherwise have made no sense. There weren't many things at the end of the book that weren't answered. And I'm sure anything that wasn't does end up answered in the other books. I do wish that she would have gotten a bit closer to the moth though. He seemed to truly love her, even sacrificing himself to save her. He didn't know that the vorpal sword would actually work and cut him out of the beast when he did it. Yet he did to keep her safe from possession. Starting the second book now.
