Good but not as good as the previous two in series

The book didn’t really get good until 2/3 of the way through. I liked the way it circled around to the first book. I would still recommend this to anyone who like the first two books.

This is what they call “ a real page turner” I stayed up till 4 am to finish it. Plot twists and plenty of red herrings. Even a couple places that made my heart race. Definitely worth a read.

Christina Henry did an excellent job of writing a story of Wonderland that is for adults but keeps a bit of that style of the original whimsy in the writing. During some of the darkest parts there would be a little bit dry, matter-of-fact humor that is very reminiscent of Lewis Caroll.
I’m a big fan of twisted Wonderland stories and am VERY critical about how people interpret Cheshire. Cheshire in this was perfect.

If you’re looking to read the same basic formate of emotionally damaged woman is thrown into  intrigue after her BEST FRIEND is murdered and finds love and herself along the way, this is the book. I couldn’t finish it so maybe there’s a great twist at the end. But the main character was such a dud, the reader’s voice is annoying and I can’t help but feel like I can guess the end without reading it.

Compared to other stories this was just so-so. Also there seemed to be more clichés than I expect from this author. The main character’s attitude of “they can’t do/solve this without me” in the situation put herself and others in danger.

One of my favorite books and the one that turned me on to Catriona Ward (Sundial is also an excellent read). The twist at the end is still so good and the amount of care and research that goes into the story is incredible.
I only gave 4/5 for performance just because the “meowing” and other cat sounds are impossible to be preformed by a human without being annoying.

The storyline was predictable without merit or insight. Flat, so predictable. Far-fetched during World War II. With an unsatisfying ending.

This sequel book is much more interesting and better than the original novel. Five stars compared to the four stars of the original.
