This book was pretty interesting, I had higher expectations, but it was really cool to see how Catherine became the queen of hearts, and an interesting interpretation of Alice in wonderland.

This was a really cute book and such a fun read. It’s even sweeter reading the basis behind the story. I love all the cheese names and then final scene. Wish we got to see Camembert problem being solved.

This book was ok, I was hoping it would be better. The romance was too fast for me, and I wasn’t a huge fan of the main character. The plot was interesting, and I will still read the next one, and I did enjoy reading this book to a certain extent, but it wasn’t my favourite book. The main character keeps talking about how she’s smart, but is continually outsmarted. She keeps saying she’s a pirate not a women(what does that even mean). But the romance was still interesting even if I thought it was rushed.

I love this book. It was different from the original series, but also had the same enjoyment involved. I’m literally in love with the hawthornes.
I loved Gigi and her relationship with Grayson, and was so heartbroken when she told him to stay away. Loved the bonus scenes of the bachelor party, and I loved Jameson finally realizing his worth. I did feel like there was a lot going on but I enjoyed that. I wish we got to see more of Nash, Xander, and maybe Avery. I can’t wait to find out more about Alice, and see what eve will do. Overall this book was amazing and I cannot wait for the next one.

I really enjoyed reading this book, and there were so many plot twists that I never expected.
It was so interesting to see how the army was manipulating everyone. I never expected Xiuying or sima yi to betray zietan. The ending was so unexpected. Some part of me thinks that zietan, shimon and yizhi’s actions are wrong, but also it’s a fantasy book and everything goes.
