The Looking Glass Wars

review 1: This book was such a chore to finish. The way the second book ended, I was all ready to just jump right into a Redd vs. Alyss battle...did not happen. I don't know why the book wandered so much in the first 100 pages. Dodge's vendetta against The Cat was lackluster in its ending. Arch dude was completely unnecessary. I picked up this third book for Redd taking back the throne and it didn't even remotely happen! The oracles...idk man...it seemed like a flimsy plot point every time. The "romance" between Dodge and Alyss was completely non existent. I learned from the first book that we wouldn't get well rounded characterization but it grew to be ridiculous in the sense that after 3 books, I really have no clue who Alyss really is. While the real world jumping to England was ... moreneat in the first and second...it did not entertain me this time around. Molly and Hatter... again, it had some development in the second book but then it just fizzled out into nothing. Molly's character really died in the second book as well, I wanted her fierceness to come back...can't say it did. Just...this whole mess of a book was really disappointing. ALL these little things just added up to make me dislike this ending to the trilogy.
review 2: The conclusion to the Looking Glass Wars Trilogy was underwhelming. The ending of the book felt rushed and not quite developed as much as it could have been. I was disappointed with the resolution over all. The book moved along slowly and ended too quickly. And I still don't really understand the ending or what the heck the Everqueen is supposed to be, other than a gimmick to end the book without tying up the loose ends satisfactorily. less
