Ever Alice
by H. J. Ramsay
Check out my full video review: https://youtu.be/6wJbfAaJegY
Ever Alice is an Alice in Wonderland retelling, set when Alice is 15 years old and sent to a asylum by her parents. They thinking she is mad after all her tales about Wonderland. Alice escapes the asylum with the help of the White Rabbit, going to Wonderland to assist in taking down the Red Queen from her throne.
In this retelling we also follow the perspective of the Red Queen, as well as Alice’s. The book has all the whimsicalness of Wonderland, with different kinds of creatures and rules in the world that does not make sense anywhere else. We even get a backstory of the Red Queen that I quite enjoyed. However, I found some plot points and character choices questionable. They didn’t really have grounds for their choices. The writing was also too direct and “childish” for me. But overall, it was entertaining and had some good parts even though the plot didn’t flow as I wanted it to. (Even though, Wonderland never flows smoothly anyway haha…). 3/5 stars.
