I don't know if I would go with my opinion.... I really liked the first book, I struggled through the second, but whether it be to my own mental issues having me lose interest, or because this book just couldn't hold my interest, I got bored and ditched it..... hoping that Splintered is a better re-imagining of Alice in wonderland.... it sucks because this series started out on a good note with "the Looking Glass Wars" but I think it would have been smarter of Beddor to just stick to the one book instead of making 2 more that almost makes me forget that the first book was good. I read the first two books in the series quite quickly and really enjoyed them, I started this one but for multiple reasons I haven't had much time to read over the last week or so so this got put to the side. I had a day off today so decided to finish it. Alyss and Redd are still at war but now they also have a common enemy - Arch. Determined to take over and make Wonderland into a Kingdom he disables the Heart Crystal rendering Alyss and Redd's powers useless. Alyss must try to defeat Arch and get rid of Redd before all of Wonderland is lost forever.I was expecting great things from this book after the first two and I wanted it to answer all my questions and I don't know just be exciting. I have to admit I was a little disappointed. The plot felt very disjointed to me, it would move from one scenario and character to another, back and forth and I found myself losing interest and forgetting what was going on. I would just get into part of it and it would change to something else. Not only that but it felt more complicated than it needed to be, I started to get bored, I just wanted the book to get on with it. Normally I will sit and read a book and look at teh page numbers and be like 'wow I've read over 100 pages already' but with this one I would look and be like 'has it really only been 30 pages!' It just seemed to be really slow and at times I had to make myself keep reading.Overall the story isn't bad and it does resolve 99% of events and character questions but I just feel like it could have been done a lot quicker and with less interruptions.Good if you want to finish the series, but a bit disappointing in my opinion.
What do You think about ArchEnemy (2009)?
Leads you too a remarkable ending. That will leave you thinking and wishing that there was more.
