Alice by Christina Henry
5.0

Me: wow I'm really loving this book it's incredible 

My brain: *chanting* reading slump, reading slump, reading slump! 

I went into this book really not knowing much about it, as always, it was a cover buy for me and I'm a massive alice in wonderland need so I had to have it when I saw it! Safe to say I was not disappointed!! 
This book is so dark and gory and just great in so many ways. The plot was super interesting, and a really unique take on the Alice story, I've never really read anything like this before I don't think. The writing style was one I really connected with and got into easily and how all the pieces of the story fit together was just so good!!

My actual rating is a 4.5/5, due to my reading slump just killing my pace finishing this book and kinda making the ending feel like a chore (worth it though!)
I flew through the first 2/3 of this book in a day or 2, not being able to put it down, taking it everywhere with me. It was just so intriguing and really my kinda book tbh. 

I really wanna read everything Christina Henry puts out, I really hope her other retellings are just as good as this one. (I wanna get to Red Queen so sooooon ((though I always say that and it takes a while hahaha)) I wanna buy it next!)
