Curiouser and Curiouser
Alice and her sister Bess was taken in by Jabberwocky who gave them a home and took care of them in return Alice was taught to steal. Alice along with other kids that Jabberwocky took all lived a life of crime with Jabberwocky being their boss. Alice and Bess didn’t like living a life crime and wanted out so when Jabberwocky is killed Alice and Bess take the opportunity to leave behind the life of crime and start a new better life for themselves. Alice is love with one of the guys living in Jabberwocky’s home, William and when Alice leaves she tries to get William to go with her but William chooses not to leave.
Alice thinks she has left that life behind but how wrong she is when a friend gets in a little trouble and Alice is the only one who can save him. Her friend owes William a debt and Alice must do one more job for him to save her friend.
I have truly enjoyed reading Curiouser and Curiouser with a mix of Alice in Wonderland and Oliver Twist. Alice is a very strong female lead and very good at what she does. Alice has spent her life taken care of others and putting others before herself. She will do whatever she has to do to keep the people she loves and cares about safe and happy no matter what the cost to herself.
I loved the world the author created for Curiouser and Curiouser with the airships and the clockwork cats. I loved the mix between Alice in Wonderland and Oliver Twist. I can’t wait to check out more of Melanie Karsak’s Steampunk Fairy Tales worlds.
