A review by elevetha
Hatter Madigan: Ghost in the Hatbox by Frank Beddor, Adrienne Kress
3.0
**An ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review**
Not a proper review, as this was an ARC.
While I enjoyed reading it, I didn't like it as much as the LGW, though I do think it will go over pretty well with the intended audience. The plot is good, and while the action isn't really action-y, it fits with the setting and ages of the characters. I did very much like the cast of characters, especially our side characters of Newton, Astra, and even West by the end of it all .
Usually I don't like the trope of the young (generally a boy) kid hanging out with the jerk clique, and then coming around to realize that they're better than that, but while I didn't necessarily like it in this case, I didn't mind it too much as it was handled well, especially as Hatter is starting to pull away from the Mean Boys.
I will be around for Book Two to see more of this crew, and more of Wonderland!
