REVIEW:
Book 2 of the Looking Glass Wars Trilogyis
a wonderful extension of the story in Wonderland. It isn’t as good as the first
book but it isn’t without twists and turns in the story with a great set up for
Book 3: ARCHENEMY.
Alyss is coronated as the queen of
Wonderland. The new found peace is again being threatened. Even as Alyss is
still trying to figure out her duties rumors have begun to spread about the
return of Redd. The queendom finds itself under attack by Redd’s glass eyes. Is
it Redd herself? More factors come into play in this intricate novel. Hatter
defecting? Jack of Diamonds escaping the mines? Arch, the king of the
Borderlands, isn’t as innocent as he seems? The story ends in a precarious
spot, as should the second book of a trilogy. I’m eager to read the third book.
In the bio about the author it says he
spent 3 years planning this trilogy before he wrote one word. It truly shows. I
can see bulletin boards of all the details he’s imagined. It also mentions that
he is writing the screenplay to make the trilogy into a movie… I’M THERE! I’d
love to see this on the big screen!
