Sigh! I think of all the Alice in Wonderland retelling‘s I‘ve read this past week this might be my favorite as far as stand-alone books go! Love the steampunk elements as well as the clever way she told her own Alice story! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #fairytaleretellings #aliceinwonderland
‘To save the Hatter, Alice must work with the one man she despises so much that she might still love him.‘
Late review. This was my first #AliceInWonderland pick for the #FairytaleReadingChallenge. And my first steampunk novel. This was an interesting retelling of Alice in Wonderland. Great for readers who like their fairytales a little dark.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was great. The story did not follow the original book, but there so many nods to it in the character names, location names, paraphrased quotes and even some of the originalink drawings that are so well known. I enjoyed the steampunk element and look forward to reading more of her retellings

An Alice in Wonderland retelling with steampunk feel, I loved it! I did feel that some character descriptions were a lacking however the storyline, world building and romance made up for it! I loved dark feel, and the steampunk side of it, I wish there were more steampunk aspects to it or more description of it to make it just that little bit better, but either way I still enjoyed it. The pace was fast and I liked the glimpses into Alice's past.

"Surely, I was dreaming.
But the question is, can a person dream while she is awake?
Perhaps, if she has the right looking glass."
With this one it was a lot less Alice in Wonderland than I expected 🤔 pick is maybe a little strong, but it's too good for so-so. Very enjoyable read, with some dark elements I didn't see coming right away. Moved away from the original story but tied itself in at times to keep the spirit alive. Not so much a steampunk version as it was a completely alternative retelling. Definately enjoyed reading it though ❤💜💙
YYAAAAAYY! Thank you so much @downtherabbithole ❤💙💜 I'm so excited 😆 so many pretty books! And the candle smells so good! 😊 I love everything 😍🤩😍🤩 x and I might finally have enough bookmarks (if there can be such a thing) 😉😄 #KingsAndQueenSwap
Wow! @Elle_Skeldon you went above and beyond! I love everything in this package (can‘t wait to try the coffee and popcorn). I have not read either book and have both on my TBR. The Alice retelling is high on the list too. Super excited for that one. And it‘ll be nice to delve into the Jeter, a classic and basis for the genre. I love the bookmark from my favorite steampunk series... so far... Parasol Protectorate! ⬇️
What a fantastic morning! Thank you SO MUCH @callunakeep for your generosity and superior stalking skills. We are all having a fun time playing dress up with the 🎩 and I‘m pretty sure that gummy sharks are my favourite way to bid adieu to an exceptionally long week. And the books! 😍😍😍 I‘m wearing the necklace to work and bringing the Alice steampunk book too - I am so excited and grateful! #steampunkgoespostal
This turned to be such a fun book! We have Alice retelling everywhere but this is the first that goes light in the fantasy and instead leans more towards contemporary and sci-if. I love the steampunk elements but my favorite part is how well the story and characters of Alice meshed so well with a Victorian London setting that weaves it's way through back alleys and shady business dealings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Only about an hour and forty minutes left in this! I love the more contemporary take on Alice in Wonderland! I think this may be the only retelling of it that has taken much of the fantasy elements out and instead interject a more sci-if twist (steampunk). Excellent narration as well.
Started this today as well! I love that while it is obviously an Alice retelling, it still provides a completely unique experience. Really good so far!
✨I understand that publishers and editors aren't perfect and sometimes mistakes spilt through the cracks, but when there's a spelling error or grammatical error on every other page, it really does start to take away from the experience. 😔
✨I'm not trying to be the grammar police, but c'mon.. it's part of the job, no? 👀
✨It's a good book, aside from the mistakes and it being a little lackluster. Maybe I'm just a stickler. 🙈🙊
✨I knew I couldn't stay away from Alice retellings for long. 😆
✨I received this book from the steampunk Litcube box with tons of other amazing goodies. 😍
✨Down the rabbit hole once again...📖
Happy to add another Alice retelling to my ever-growing collection. Pictured are a couple of my favorites but there are still many in my collection I haven't read.

This version of Alice in Wonderland looks fabulous!
