I'm always game for an Alice in Wonderland retelling, but I've been burned before. This one filled with delightful Easter Eggs and strong characters. I really appreciate the fact that the chosen leads are not our usual fare - no Alice in this one, and even the ever popular Hatter plays a supporting role. The Cheshire Cat is a minor character, but he's perfect. EVERYONE is included from the original stories. EVERYONE.
The plot is a little less exciting - it's not the most original thing I've ever read, and it's a love triangle besides... but the characters and the world-building have so much heart... I forgive it's shortcomings. I really, really enjoyed this book to its core. I think this is a must read for any Alice in Wonderland fan and I absolutely must get it in hardcopy.
