Frank Beddor writes fantasy that radically reimagines Lewis Carroll's Wonderland as a world of dynastic conflict, warfare and weaponised imagination. The Looking Glass Wars follows Alyss Heart, heir to the Wonderland throne, after her aunt Redd seizes power and Alyss is forced into Victorian England, where her story becomes transformed into the familiar Alice tale. Seeing Redd and ArchEnemy continue the trilogy as Alyss returns to a world of competing armies, magical technologies and political struggle. Beddor also expanded the setting through related graphic novels and companion material. His version of Wonderland is action-heavy and much darker than Carroll's original, using recognisable names and images as raw material for a separate fantasy mythology. The Looking Glass Wars is the necessary first book for readers interested in fractured classics, alternate Wonderland stories and YA fantasy built around rebellion and succession. Read more Less
