I was really excited when I started reading this. Alice's POV was very strong and the story started out with a great premise. I thought Crane did a good job with the magick and the social structure of the world. She even gave a driving force to the story - The Prophecy. However, the story lost a little steam for me when Lacie entered the picture. Her early chapters did not contribute a great deal to the plot, but Alice's parts kept me interested (especially Alice and Landon). There were twins separated at birth, evil queens, forbidden love, Wonderland/Wonderhills, portals, magick -- I was interested. Towards the end, it sort of got murky for me though.
What you're saying makes sense in a warped way.
I am glad she thought so, because I was really confused. Realms and dream states. I don't know.
If it makes you feel any better, you're not even here. Not really.
See what I mean?
Overall: Not terrible. A promising premise that could perhaps, use a little more explanation.
