I love happy endings! I also love bittersweet endings! Ensnared was just the perfect end for this series. That epilogue nearly made me cry, because it was just perfect. Although I absolutely knew that was coming, but it was the ending I wanted, so hooray! Also, it's not a typical ending. It's a bit out there, but we wouldn't expect anything less from Wonderland, right? Right!

Ensnared starts out with Alyssa on a mission. She needs to rescue her loved ones and repair Wonderland and defeat Queen Red. There's a lot she needs to do, and she needs her dad's help to do it. I adored that! Too often parents are just absent and don't know what the heck their teens are doing to save the world, but Alyssa's dad was a very important part in finding a way back to Wonderland. So everything gets going right away, and never stops! They go from problem to problem, solve one, and move on! It was great and kept me hooked!

The world-building continues to be fantastic even though this is the end of the trilogy. This time we get to see AnyElsewhere, which is just as weird as Wonderland, especially since someone is doing stuff to change it. It's there where Alyssa completes the first part of her mission. I was ecstatic to be reunited with Morpheus! He is just wonderful and we really got to see a softer side of him during this part of the book. Jeb on the other hand...well, he's changed. I won't go into details, because spoilers! But that was an interesting twist I never saw coming!

Of course, the love triangle is a major plot point. Alyssa keeps going back and forth between Jeb and Morpheus. I am firmly on Team Morpheus, but I could definitely believe her struggle. Her heart was literally splitting in two! She has reasons for wanting to be with both of them, and I believed that she truly loved them both and it was killing her! Like I said, I totally knew that resolution was coming. It was obvious, but I'm so glad that it did! It made me so happy!

Ensnared was a wonderful ending to this crazy trilogy! It was weird and bizarre and dark and dangerous and funny and HOORAY! I desperately want more though!
