Alice," William shouted, pulling me close, shielding me. Blood and bits of the Queen of Hearts sprayed around the room." (p.211) Setting (4/5): This whole world is well done, it’s a steampunk London and the story stays in the city. The particulars about how this steampunk London is run with the airships and layout are very well done. This was a creative and fun setting that was easy to picture. But anyway. The writing in this book isn't good. In all honesty, the story wasn't terrible. It was just written terribly. Take this paragraph for example: Teapots, flamingos, whimsy, and chaos... it's all in this book that is a kind of retelling of the classic Alice in Wonderland but with many differences that assist in making it it's own story. All of the beloved characters make an appearance in some form or fashion and Alice is recreated to be a strong heroine that is intelligent and resourceful, but makes mistakes.

I liked it. I had some issues with it, but as a whole it was good. I probably won't reread ever, but there is a chance I might finish the series. (If part of one) But if not it's not a huge loss. Retellings are typically hit or miss for me and Curiouser and Curiouser was a hit. It was short, so it didn't get overwhelming with the crazy worldbuilding that it certainly could have been, as a steampunk retelling of Alice in Wonderland. But, it was just enough to enjoy the characters and enjoy the spin on the story. Alice, Mad Hatter, das weiße Kaninchen, die Herzogin..., alle bekannten Figuren haben kleinere und größere Rollen. Man erfährt, wie das weiße Kaninchen zu seiner Taschenuhr kommt und nimmt an der berühmten Gartenparty der Herzkönigin teil, mit Flamingos und rollenden Köpfen. The March Hare doesn’t have a lot of pre-made costumes, but you can take them and embellish them. Another option is to create your own or find handmade costumes which have a steampunk look. You can also add steampunk accessories to the costumes. it's supposed to say man... maybe going with a small editing company wasn't a good choice after all...Immerse yourself in Wonderland. This event is inspired by the characters from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass but with a steampunk twist! Take a magical journey through Wonderland solving puzzles and riddles and meet your performers. You will also be tasked with solving the crime of who stole the tarts! Using forensic clues and clues hidden in puzzles you will be able to narrow down the suspects until you decide who the culprit may be. I really liked this book. Maybe not a work of genius, but highly entertaining. I might reread this, and I will finish the series. (If part of one) I would recommend to those I know hold interest in this book's content. While I liked the story I wasn't fully in love with it. I didn't connect with the characters. Alice at times was a little rash. I did love Bess and Henry aka the hatter.

This is the first time I’ve ever listened to her. Sometimes I have a learning curve with a new narrator, but I experienced no issues following her performance from the get-go. Her voice is clear and easy to understand. Her pacing is spot-on. She expresses all the expected emotions and the voices she used for the characters are ideal fits. Her south London accent made listening to this audio book a pure pleasure. I can’t wait to listen to her again soon!
