4.0
4.5 stars.
The ending felt slightly rushed? The situation felt like it went from hopeless and 'in the middle of nowhere' to concluded, complete with happy ending in 20 pages or less. Not that I didn't love the happy ending. It gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling :D
This was such a joy to read, and felt so different from all other reads this year. Obviously inspired by Alice in Wonderland (complete with the writing style), but was done so impressively that it felt like it was written in homage, or with pure inspiration and wasn't simply a copy-cat as so many 're-imagined' fairytales are.
Super imaginative, well-written and cute. Loved all characters- even the monsters. Lost half a star for the slightly too-fast ending but I genuinely loved it and am so happy I read it right over Christmas.
