Wonderland

I had this book in my Audible library FOREVER. It was high on my tbr list but I also put it off. I really thought by the time I got to it, it would blow me away. I always try to stay away from reviews because they tend to stick in my head and I don't want them to influence my reading experience. However, this is one book that I wished I would have read the reviews first.

Firstly, I think the premise of this story is so interesting. The mix between sci-fi and horror is on point. I also think that the writing is well done. However! I was so bored. Even when there was exciting and/or tragic things happening I was bored. The characters weren't necessarily unlikable but they definitely weren't people I'd want to hang out with in my personal life. I think the character I disliked most was Eleanor Queen - it's always both names, they never shorten it. There is just something about children that act too adult that bothers me. If that was the only thing I would have just moved on and gotten over it, but mixed with the slow pace for me I think grated on me more than usual.

Even though this fell flat for me, I look forward to reading more from this author. I have Baby Teeth already on my TBR.
