This book was everything. I love this version of Alice being a badass warrior and making sure all the people in her life that she cares about is safe. I really enjoyed the book because there was nothing but action throughout the book. NOw I will say it was hard for me to get into the book but that was probably because I was in a slump, but once I was a few chapters into the book I was immediately hooked. This book brought many aspect to life for me by referencing Harry Potter, and many others things that made me want to read more. Alice of course is one of my favorite characters but all the characters are brilliant in this book. Also I like that fact the Wonderland can be quite similar to the real world. Like when there are characters that speak Russian and Japanese is awesome. This book is filled with diversity which I love so much. Also in this book there is romance which of course I can not complain about because I am a sucker for romance and I always wanted to know what happens to the couple if there is a happy ending or not. I prefer happy endings but if there is still romance involved and there is no happy ending I still will not complain. I love this book and it was one of my most anticipated books of this year. There was never a dull moment for me in this book. I think my favorite part was when Alice was having visions of her dad and telling her that it is alright be afraid because fear is something that can be faced and that you can overcome it. That part got to me because Alice loved her dad so much and her having to see him and hear his voice for those short moments had me crying. Overcoming your fears is something to face in life and I am glad this book brought that to light. Though this book is nothing but fantasy... I feel that it brings up things that happen in reality and in life. Hands down this book is fire!!!!!
