![]() ![]() ![]() I loved the exploration of Alice’s relationship with her magic and what she was capable of. Alice finds herself drawn to a house by a laughing boy. As the snow draws in, Hatcher leaves Alice to scout ahead. Novella two Girl in Amber, takes place on Alice and Hatcher’s journey to find themselves a home. I enjoyed it and would love to see Elizabeth as the star of her own story at some point however, it could just end up being a replica of Alice’s story. I think this was probably my least favourite story in the book, as it constantly hinted that Alice was more involved than she ended up being. Elizabeth ends up following a strange-looking man into the Old City. She seems to live the same life, and just like Alice, her wishes come true. ![]() Elizabeth is very similar to Alice before the Old City dug its claws into her. The first story in the book is called Lovely Creature and doesn’t feature Alice or Hatcher but a little girl named Elizabeth. The novellas cover things from their past that affect their journey forward. Looking Glass follows on from Alice and Red Queen and consists of four novellas on Alice and Hatcher’s way to finishing their journey. So, it’s no surprise that I had Looking Glass on pre-order, but I knew that August’s theme was fairytales so I waited until now to read it. Anyone who knows me knows that I adore Christina Henry’s twisted fairytales. ![]()
