Review: Alister in Wonderland

Alister in Wonderland

Twisted Fairytales Collection #3

by KuroKoneko Kamen

A genderbent reimagining of the classic fairytale Alice in Wonderland…

Alister Kingsley is an eccentric, London artist who is famous for his surreal, fanciful paintings set in a land that only exists in his imagination: Wonderland.

Alister’s ‘dream girl’ Madeline Hatter wasn’t supposed to be real. But when the White Rabbit shows up at his art expo, and leads him down the rabbit hole Alister comes face-to-face with the Mad Hatter herself when she rescues him from getting barbequed by the King of Heart’s pet: the Jabberwocky.

As it turns out, Madeline got herself into a pickle, and needs Alister’s help. She has him sign a magical contract that enters him into a tournament to win her hand in marriage. Alister must complete an impossible task, participate in a Wonderland Joust where the rules aren’t exactly normal, and defeat the other contenders: Crimson the King of Hearts, Clover the White King, and Cheshire Cat slave, Chesher.

Madeline isn’t allowed to help Alister, and Crim keeps sending assassins after his head. Will Alister be able to win the tournament so that Madeline won’t have to marry the sadistic, bloodthirsty King of Hearts?

Take the blue pill and find out…

REVIEW

5 out of 5

If you know me at all, you know I’m a sucker for retellings. Add in a genderbend, and I just had to read this! I quickly fell in love with Alister and Madeline (and all the other characters); they’re unique and quirky, and absolutely unforgettable. This was an excellent new twist on one of my favorite stories, and after reading this, I absolutely have to read more by this author!
