4.0
I gave this 4 stars purely for the beautifully written and wonderfully designed world that Howard created. It wasn't the Wonderland you read in Carrolls book, but a dangerous and twisted Wonderland, and it was truly captivating. The plot was well thought out and executed with twists and turns throughout, with action, mystery, magic and danger.
As for the characters, I really did like Alyssa. She was smart, fierce and sort of eccentric. As for Jeb, I didn't feel connected to him at all, but I didn't hate him either. At times, Alyssa and Jeb romantic moments were sort of sweet, but I didn't feel like they connected as much as Alyssa and Morpheus did as I was much more interested in their friendship and development. He was a much more involved character and you found out more about him than Jeb. He was troubled, if not a little devilish with his own intentions, but his true genuine feelings were soon revealed and I felt he had a much better connection with Alyssa.
Overall, a good and enjoyable read and I recommend.
