Alice Games
Alice didn’t fall down a rabbit hole. She was pushed down a staircase by a white bunny-woman. She wakes up in Oz as the newest participant of the 27th Alice Games. If Alice can survive the journey to the Emerald Castle and select Red Queen as ruler, Oz has momentary peace and Alice can go home. If Alice dies along the way, then Oz will turn into a hellish, eternal winter.
Alice suspects there’s more than that. If other Alices from Earth have already played, why is Oz still broken and frozen in time, repeating the Alice Games over and over? And why do the people turn into animals at night? It’s time to unveil all the secrets and make this the last Alice Games ever played.
Then she meets the knight Ace, a charming distraction and possibly a threat. Ace’s past is as dark as Oz’s, yet Alice’s heart tells her that he’s the key to ending the Alice Games forever. Falling in love is irrational because she’s going home at the end, dead or alive. But oh, that smile. For once in her life, she doesn’t know if she should listen to reason, or trust an emotion she’s never put much credit in. With her life on the line, she can’t afford to be wrong.

Trippy mashup of The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland.
I don't know if I've even really been a fan of Alice but she was a bit too accepting of her circumstance (being transported to this weird world of Oz) and there were times when she just really irked me. A bit TSTL and holier-than-thou. The love story with Ace/the Cheshire Cat was a little silly, and it's hard to believe that she was the only one in over 200 years to figure out how to fix Oz's "problem". Talk about everyone being utterly clueless!
There were some entertaining parts of the story, and others, though being similar to the original counterparts, were unique in their own right. But overall, there just wasn't enough to it to keep my attention throughout or for me to root for or like any of the characters.

I LOVED this book. Such a unique mix of creativity, fairytale mashing, and the unexpected. It's going in my top ten for 2018. Just sayin'.
Highly recommended.

I loved the Cheshire/Ace Ali story going on, i wish it could have been a bit clearer on why Cheshire was so bad, the world building was great, no idea who the playboy bunny was in the beginning was she Oz??? lots of unanswered questions....
The story was nice it could have been a bit more developed, i think the mad hatter part was an afterthought as he had no real place in the story, but it was an ok read.

Wow, absolutely better than any other Alice remake
Remake doesn't do it justice! I've started to believe in magic again. I had happy years at the end and I was so fascinated with all of the interpretations. You have to read this if you love Oz and Wonderland!!!

So inventive and fun. I love the environment and mystery in this book. And of course the forbidden romance :)
