I had a blast buddy reading this book with the amazing Irene Sim. 
 But before I say anything else, let us take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the cover. 
 This isn't one of your normal Alice retellings. Alice is still the protagonist but in it we also have other book characters who play a huge part in the plot. 
 The book begins with Alice beeing held in an Insane Asylum after her adventures in Wonderland. 
 We don't have the little girl from the Lewis Carroll books but a 25 year who just recently returned from Wonderland. 
 After a talk with her doctor a mysterious man visits her and tells her that Wonderland and all it's population is in danger of beeing erased. 
 When she follows him to a new "world" she finds out that she is a character from a popular book that an author wrote and she meets other characters from other books. Her entire life was a lie. 
 As she struggles to accept everything she learns about herself, people are on the lose whose mission it is to find the catalysts from each book and destroy it and with it the entire world that the book was surrounded in so Alice and the other members of the Society are on the hunt for the remaining catalysts and the people who seek to destroy them. 
 We don't get to see much of Wonderland in the first 3/4 of the book and Alice doesn't give anything away and because of that I was originaly give it a 3 Star rating. 
 We get snippets here and there from some memories of hers and it becomes clear that Alice didn't return on her own but was forced to but until very later we don't find out why she was sent away or who forced her. 
 What made this a 4 Star rating for me was Wonderland. 
 It was glorious and everything I hoped for. Alice fit right in with it and it containted some of the madness I was seeking. 
 I just wished the book was more focused on it. The other characters were well written and interesting as hell and I loved all of them but it didn't didn't contain enough Alice for me, the main focus is an entire different story that has more to do with books in general. 
 That doesn't mean that I didn't enjoyed the book. I did and I couldn't put it down because it's plot was so interesting and I needed to know more. What made it even more fun was to read it with Irene Sim. Can't wait to start the 2nd one.
