Review: 

This book ventured even further than any kind of retelling. I guess I need to just get over that. The only link really to Alice in wonderland is the white rabbit cloud, and the mirror in this one... and her name.
thats about it.
Well, and the chapter titles.

Anyways, This book was not as amazing as the first.
Mainly because of the Cole/Gavin/Alice/all his exes drama. I knew how it was gonna end up (and if i'd been wrong I wouldve been super perturbed) but i wasnt. So the whole middle of this book, in regards to that relationship drama was more than annoying.

Other than that, with the true emergence of Anima and the Hazmats, the story really grew. I loved how much Alice again grew in this book. The subplot about the two halves of Alice was... long. it was too long, in my opinion. and I found myself skimming through a lot of this.

But, it was still a good book. With great world building and characters.

Rating: 3.5 Stars (but will round up)
