review 1: I loved, loved, loved this book. It was among the best I ever read, up with Neil Gaiman, Alexander Wolkow, Michael Ende, Diana Wynne Jones and Astrid Lindgren.The author managed to deliver bits of information in a way that I rediscovered “Alice in Wonderland” from a completely new angle. The world the main character visits is grittier that the Wonderland of Alice stories, but every difference has a reason. And the reasons are explained throughout the book without being preachy or dumped at the reader. It was a lot of fun to try and figure out which direction the story would take next (and believe me, I’m really good at that, often seeing twists and turns long before they are revealed – I’m an author and should be able to do that, right?). But this story managed t... moreo surprise me over and over again. I read breathlessly until late at night and just couldn’t put it down regardless how tired I was the next day. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the twisting of familiar tales, for all those who love characters that grow up during a story, and for those that love steampunk. This story has everything. I’m now off, looking for more stories by this author.
review 2: I admit that Alice & Looking Glass are still two of my favourite books - I think they hold appeal even as I have grown up - this was a wonderful (pun intended) follow up - a "what if" if you allow me the generalization - I found it was well written and the characters were fully formed. Although covering a whole "world" I wasn't lost as the characters moved quickly across the different Kingdoms. I had purchased this based on the GoodReads rating, and I love Steampunk books, and was really pleased with it as a stand alone novel and outside of the Steampunk and Alice in Wonderland links. less
