This tale begins long after the fallout of Alice's return from her first trip into this alternate world that has left some serious emotional and psychological scars on her. She is struggeling to remeber the presetn and so the past and somewhat weird is even harder to rember. Then one night a fire breaks out and she and a man named Hatcher finnaly manges to exape the assilum. Alice find out that alot of the things she thought she knew may not actually be true
Now, to the actual rewiev part, I mean I do not know where to start even. Like I liked the overall story. I actually quite enjoyed reading it alot. Yet, I do not like it amazingly well. Like the connection to actual wounderland was not enough. They kinda made wounderland be less magical by well just somewhat removing it. It is mainly just the new vs the old city. Or how I read it, the new moderized and standard way of living and seeing the world vs the old and more chaotic under the shadows ways. I enjoyed the more whimsical and somewhat not straight forward dirction this story takes.

The weakest part of the novel for me were the eventual reveal of magic in this world, and the way that the original story almost seemed to keep this one contained within a box of its own making. i felt like story just had to fit certain things and it just was not 100% as whimsiical I wanted. I mean the fudemental idea is somewhat they on drugs and doped down on meds and suh and see and experience things. So I wanted that feeling some more.

Well, plus there is also just it was not simmiar enough to the original.
