I'm really conflicted about this one. Be sure to read all TW. I really liked how the author recreated the characters, but the brutality was a bit much for me. Sexual assault is described heavily throughout.

This is a very dark, clever adaptation of Alice. I would say, also, that it is not for the light reader though. Expect horror and very traumatic themes.
