A prequel to the darkly comedic Malice in Wonderland trilogy. A peek inside the minds of Alice and the other characters of Wonderland before she killed them.This volume follows Alice from the age of 7, where Lewis Carroll left off telling her story, to the age of 12. It doesn't detail everything that happened during that time, because frankly that would be boring, since mostly Alice served as a doormat to the citizens of Wonderland. (Don't worry, though, she gets her revenge when she turns 13.) Instead, the book hops around between certain key points in Alice's and the other characters histories, with each event linked to the next, not necessarily in chronological order.This book precedes
Malice in Wonderland #1: Alice the Assassin.
Here's its blurb: Alice will get her heart back even if she has to kill everyone in Wonderland one by one...The truth is not what you were led to believe. Alice never left Wonderland. It wasn't all "just a dream."It's a nightmare. A nightmare she can't escape, where formerly pleasant characters throw her unhappy unbirthday parties to torment her, while others like to make her cry so they can lick her tears. But one day after years of this unpleasantness, she loses her heart. Literally. Well, technically someone steals it.And she has to get it back. By any means necessary. And it's a lot easier to be ruthless now that she's heartless.
