Very gruesome book that has barely anything to do with the original Alice in wonderland story. 

The book is so gruesome that often I got actually sick from how specific things were described 


The writing however is great and the ending sentence was enjoyable. Thus a 2.5 star.

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.
