the Queen of Hearts and all her little cards (soldiers, you know what I mean).
As someone in another review that I read stated, I started to see the characters emerge as their inspirations near the end-i.e. liked, and it was a great way to direct the story in the way it needed to veer. The girl’s name is Alice, though she likes to be called Ali for short, and the chapter titles are things like ‘Off with her head!’ Now, that was plenty awesome for me-see, that was just a fun little poke at what we all knew and…. I think it needs to be said up front that there was hardly an association with AIW, it was more of an inspiration for this story. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything I knew and loved was gone.
Truth be told, I didn’t care for AIW as a child, but I still find it fascinating when an author chooses to re-vamp an old fairy tale (was that really a fairy tale? It was so creepy) so I chose to give this one a go on the recommendation of my brilliant British friend :P. I didn’t need the Alice In Wonderland references to be obvious or even close to the original telling. Well, there was a lot of good in this story….and there was also some bad.
