Insanity by Cameron Jace
4.0
"How to read this book: Begin at the beginning and go until you come to the end; then stop."
I have always been a fan of Alice in Wonderland, books or films, and when a new spin off is released I jump on it. So finding Insanity by Cameron Jace was an excitement for me.
The beginning of the book was interesting but was a bit slow for me. I really wanted to get out of the asylum and into Wonderland... and that ultimately is why I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5.
"On a scale from one to insanity, how insane are you?"
Alice struggles throughout the book wondering if what she is seeing and experiencing is real or if she truly is insane. The author does a great job of leaving us wondering not only that but ... is she the real Alice?
I very much enjoyed the authors take on the characters. The Cheshire's role was a grand one and
I believe the Queen was probably the biggest surprise for me. I didn't quite understand the connection there.
The Pillar, with his crazy outbursts and sayings,"Take it from me: sane is mundane, insanity is the new black" was high on the list for a favorite of mine. "Silly is different from nonsense."
I found myself loving every scene with Jack Diamonds and looking forward to him reappearing. So I have to say he was my favorite. "She is awesome, like marshmallow awesome."
Overall it was an insane read and I look forward to catching the second book once it releases.

the smile he left on his victims I thought appropriate for the role. I enjoyed his games and the hunt he sent them on for the clues.I believe the Queen was probably the biggest surprise for me. I didn't quite understand the connection there.
