Meh. I enjoy Alice retellings more than the retellings of most fairy tale stories, but this one felt a little lackluster for me. It was just okay. The writing felt overly pretentious -- which was in keeping with the Victorian era setting, but simply rubbed me the wrong way. I enjoyed the different take on the story and thought it was mildly clever, but there wasn't enough originality for me. Not a waste of time, but not a "wow" moment either.
