![]() Not to the extent that it’s difficult to read, but just enough to give the story character and convey the time period reflected in Alice’s fantasy world. It feels as if the writing intentionally matches the style and sound of Victorian England, in which period the original Alice books were written. It’s a different genre entirely Alice is categorized as horror or dark fantasy. It’s a grittier, harsher, and beautifully written. Why I kept reading: Wow! First off, Alice is not like the Black Wings books. I love the clever ways authors use details from the originals to make a new story. I have read some of the books in Christina Henry’s Black Wing series and enjoyed them. ![]() What drew me to this book: Reviews for this book are very good, and I like the vintage paper collage look of the cover. ![]() In this dark twist on a classic tale, Alice struggles to recover from the trauma of her past and her commitment to a mental institution, and to regain her power as an independent and whole person. ![]()
