Gears of Wonderland

Gears of Wonderland - Jason G. Anderson I really enjoyed this, it was something different and had adventure in it just like the orignal Alice books.

The story was a good concept that gave a different take while in so many ways been the same as previous Alice books. I was unsure about a male lead and was thinking how they gonna do it?, maybe a male desendent of Alice but as I read further and who James was was revieled I thought yes thats a good idea and it worked.

I thought the author built a great version of wonderland and it was described so well that you really thought you were there and I like books like that that allow you to immers yourself in the world created.

James was ya typical nerdy guy who turns into the reluctant hero and discovers himself and who he trully is, the author describes him in away that you feel that your there for his growth from nerdy boy to hero.

Kara was just a likeable character. I liked her strong sassy attitude and was happy she wasn't written to begin strong then turn all damsel but she stayed that strong female lead.

I thought how the orignal Alice characters like white rabbit, mad hatter and caterpillar had bit parts that really helped the story grow.

The cheshire cat all I will say is never saw that coming.

My only draw back is the final battle was over too quick to the point I thought I'd missed a page but hadn't and it is sold as a steampunk fantasy which it is there just wasn't enough steampunk influences for my liking and I believe this book could have gone more seampunk!

All in all I loved this book and if another book continuing the adventure was to be written I would read it.
It was a light hearted adventure and I really enjoyed it.
