This is a neat twist on the whole Alice In Wonderland story and while I know it has been out for a while I hadnt read it as a child and therefore got it to listen to on disc with my daughter and it was really good. I would recommend it.

This was an entertaining twist on Alice in Wonderland. The army looks like something out of Star Wars and there is a dark and light side. There is a hint of science-fiction about it, but mostly it is just magical fantasy in the midst of a war.

Absolutely stunning! I sat down with it the morning after Christmas and finished it by that evening.

I think the best thing about this book is the level of detail. The world is well-imagined and complete, even though some of the character descriptions were weak. I just made them up as I went along, and was enchanted by both concept and execution.

I really liked this book, even though I didn't expect to... I just wish the ending was as good as the rest of it!

The idea is interesting but the execution lacking. The writing was juvenile and simple. There seems to be no rules for the magic system, if there is even a system. It seems to be more of a tell don't show form of writing and completely misses the amount of imagination that a rewriting of Alice in Wonderland should have. At least in the copy I read there were numerous editing mistakes including no spaces, misspellings and incorrect formating.
