When Queen Redd attacks the Heart Palace, Princess Alyss escapes with Hatter Madigan through the Pool of Tears. No one has ever returned through the Pool of Tears, but Alyss must. She is the only hope for the queendom. Separated from her body guard, Hatter Madigan, Alyss is adopted by the Liddell family and becomes the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Carroll got all the details wrong! Even her name. With Hatter Madigan searching the earth for her, will she eventually be able to return to Wonderland and stop the tyranny of her aunt Redd? 
 Overall, I loved Beddor's take on Alice in Wonderland. Bibwit, Hatter Madigan, and General Doppelganer were wonderful re-imaginings of certain characters. The narrative voice is very fairy tale feels and distant. I really enjoyed it at first, but by the end I wanted to be closer to the action instead of feeling like I was floating above knowing everything. A very quick and overall enjoyable read.
