The Wonder of You by Harper Kincaid
3.0
FTC DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED AN E-ARC FROM THE PUBLISHER THROUGH INKSLINGER PR. I ALSO PURCHASED A COPY FOR MYSELF AT MY OWN COST! I VOLUNTARILY OFFER MY HONEST REVIEW OF THE BOOK, THOUGH IT IS NOT EXPECTED OF ME! RECEIPT OF THIS BOOK IN THIS MANNER DOES NOT AFFECT MY OPINION OF THE BOOK OR THE CONTENT OF MY REVIEW!
I don't believe that I have read this author before now, so I was unsure what to expect when I finally sat down with it. I really didn't see it much like the Alice in Wonderland story, so felt that it was more of a marketing ploy to play on the popularity of Fairy Tale Retellings.
Alice and Dare felt too stereotypical to me, which made it hard for me to connect to them. Everything about their stereotypes was played up. Likewise, I couldn't form a connection to the supporting cast of characters.
The story did have a bit of an interesting premise, which raised the rating for me. It also felt like a cohesive story, despite the brevity of the book, so it also got marked up for that. One question I had though was why Alice wasn't using her professor's assignment as part of her defense at the inquiry. That omission made no sense to me, and would have been a valid way for her to defend herself, and possibly expose the unsavory professor.
I'm not sure I would continue the series, but it was a mostly engaging read!
