Looking Glass

By Christina Henry
Looking Glass by Christina Henry digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In four new novellas, Christina Henry returns to the world of Alice and Red Queen, where magic runs as freely as secrets and blood.

Lovely Creature
In the New City lives a girl with a secret: Elizabeth can do magic. But someone knows her secret--someone who has a secret of his own. That secret is a butterfly that lives in a jar, a butterfly that was supposed to be gone forever, a butterfly that used to be called the Jabberwock...

Girl in Amber
Alice and Hatcher are just looking for a place to rest. Alice has been dreaming of a cottage by a lake and a field of wildflowers, but while walking blind in a snowstorm she stumbles into a house that only seems empty and abandoned...

When I First Came to Town
Hatcher wasn't always Hatcher. Once, he was a boy called Nicholas, and Nicholas fancied himself the best fighter in the Old City. No matter who fought him he always won. Then his boss tells him he's going to battle the fearsome Grinder, a man who never leaves his opponents alive...

The Mercy Seat
There is a place hidden in the mountains, where all the people hate and fear magic and Magicians. It is the Village of the Pure, and though Alice and Hatcher would do anything to avoid it, it lies directly in their path...

Thumbs Up“All in all, this is a good ending for the Alice in Wonderland retelling series. I’m glad that by the end Hatcher and Alice got a ‘good ending’. I was still quite frustrated by Alice in the second story, but, by the end, she did grow and finally accepted her powers which was a nice conclusion. The additional story about Hatcher’s beginnings was my favourite part of this book (although I still think it would be nice to also have a story about his daughter and what happened to her, but I guess this will be left to our imagination). The story of Elizabeth and the parallel that it serves to Alice’s story was an interesting addition, especially in the way that it demonstrated what happens if you accept your power (and yourself) as it is. In one way it could be seen a bit repetitive, but as Cheshire said, all “stories are retold” and although it doesn’t mean that mistakes will not be repeated, if one learns, then the story could be changed.”
