“While I certainly found this book enjoyable, I felt there were too many things left unexplained.
The book starts with a bang, which is great, but then it fizzles and tries to find its way. Splitting between the two worlds was interesting, but i didn't feel enough time was given to Alyss' life on Earth versus in Wonderland. The time jumps were extreme, and the whole street urchin-orphan-adoption felt unnecessary because there wasn't enough time given to care.
I also felt like it was too easy for Alyss to regain her imaginative powers. The climax and resolve were uninspired. Most of the characters I didn't care about. And I felt like the Alice in Wonderland aspect was just a means to an end.
Finally, the magic system was poorly explained and poorly utilized. If Redd was so powerful, why didn't she take over Wonderland long before? The magic usage seemed to be strong when the plot needed it to be strong and weak when the plot dictated weakness.”
