Looking Glass

Christina Henry — 2020
"Lovely Creature: In the New City lives a girl with a secret: Elizabeth can do magic. But someone knows her secret--someone who has a secret of his own. That secret is a butterfly that lives in a jar, a butterfly that was supposed to be gone forever, a butterfly that used to be called the Jabberwock... Girl in Amber: Alice and Hatcher are just looking for a place to rest. Alice has been dreaming of a cottage by a lake and a field of wildflowers, but while walking blind in a snowstorm she stumbles into a house that only seems empty and abandoned... When I First Came to Town: Hatcher wasn't always Hatcher. Once, he was a boy called Nicholas, and Nicholas fancied himself the best fighter in the Old City. No matter who fought him he always won. Then his boss tells him he's going to battle the fearsome Grinder, a man who never leaves his opponents alive... The Mercy Seat: There is a place hidden in the mountains, where all the people hate and fear magic and Magicians. It is the Village of the Pure, and though Alice and Hatcher would do anything to avoid it, it lies directly in their path.."--

It was okay, but the plot line just wasn’t it for me. Still, my favorite of this series is the first one. However this book does give some more information about the past of Hatcher.

Rating: 3/5 Format: ebook. I'd like to thank Netgalley for a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review. What it's like: This book is a set of short stories/novellas that take place in the same universe as her previous two works in this series (Alice and Red Queen). I found it a lot like Alice obviously, but less dark and depressing. To sum up: This book consists of 4 short novellas from 3 different POVs, all taking place after the events of Red Queen. What I loved: I really liked hearing the perspectives of other characters. I feel that it added a nice depth to this world and new voices are always a nice change. I also appreciated that the tone wasn't so depressing as in Alice. I also enjoyed seeing where the characters from Alice and Red Queen ended up. What was meh: Overall, I didn't feel these stories were totally necessary to have. They are nice additions but are critical to the overall world-building or character development. Who I'd recommend it to: Fans of Alice and Red Queen, as well as Christina Henry in general.
