I started this series back in 2014 and read my way book one and two and eagerly waited for book three to come forth.  Then i lost track of the series and saw new covers come out and i was like i read these all ready right.   The series got a revamp and book three was pushed out and finally published in November 2017.  I borrowed book three via the library keeping with my resolution of 2018 that i will complete series instead of reading book one and leaving the rest to get covered into dust. 

I ended up giving this one a three as i think the story got lost with the huge gap between the release of the first books and the last.  Now i could of re read the first two and maybe i would of loved this one more or maybe it just that i loved the original Alice in Wonderland story so much.  

Oakes does a great job with the final book in this series is just as bloody and true to how you expect the Queen of hearts to act.  I think that maybe what made me shy away but still kept reading.  The epilogue of the story is bittersweet but i not sure that i can really believe that wardley can so easily forgive what Dinah has done.  All in all if you read the first two of this series you should read the last one just so you know how it all ends.
