I have a soft spot for Alice in Wonderland and really love retelling's and different versions, the darker the better. I was a huge fan of the first few books in the series and the first one remains among my favourite books of all time. Sadly, my enjoyment of the series has waned in the later books. I still have a few to read and am going through them just to tick them off. There's apparently going to be another season which I don't plan to read. I'm sad that such a promising series has gone so downhill. For me, it's a case of just too much, the books are no longer as original and entertaining and other author's such as Christina Henry have done a much better job of reinventing Alice. Family is much the same as other books in the series with Alice and Wonderland Monsters talking nonsense and acting crazy. I'm just a bit tired of it all after seven books.
