My Thoughts

I’m glad I’ve finally finished the Looking Glass Wars trilogy. It was a fun retelling of ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS by Lewis Carroll.

Having finished the entire series, I still don’t think third-person omniscient was the best way to write these stories because the story jumps from character to character too quickly and often. I wanted more detail and the stories and characters to be fleshed out a bit more. I didn’t feel like I connected with anyone besides Alyss. I also wish there was a little more romance because what was in the story was very surface-level. I think there could’ve been more without taking anything away from the story. This is probably because I felt like there was too much going on–way too many plots. Despite all of that, the overall story was fun and I’m glad I read the series.

ARCHENEMY was the best out of the series in my opinion. I loved that everything came to a head from the previous two books and we finally got to see how everything resolved. I also liked how everything ended.
