Seeing Redd by Frank Beddor
It has been a very long time since I read the first book in this series and even after reading my review and the synopsis of the previous book I do not remember anything that happened and the characters were unfamiliar while still being familiar because it's a re-imagining of Alice in Wonderland. I did not enjoy this book. So much so that I question why I put it on my list to check out from the library. Also, I am glad that I borrowed it from the library instead of buying it; I would be upset if I spent money on it with how much I did not enjoy it. But, it had the benefit of helping my local library because every book you borrow helps! As for the book, Arch, the king of one of the neighboring lands is very manipulative and he thinks he's a master but by the end of the book both Alyss's supporters and Redd's supporters have bested him, ruined his plans, and killed him. We discover that Molly is the child of the Hatter, one he didn't know he had. Her insecurities are manipulated by Arch but her parents save her and the day. Redd is amassing an army on Earth and uses the Jack of Diamonds to really unite the tribes controlled by Arch and uses them to take control of him before killing him. Alyss is trying to make a relationship with Dodge, but both are bad at communication. Redd goes through her maze and now has lots more power and the Hatter is the only reason she doesn't defeat Alyss. There was action, adventure, and deception. I should have liked this, but I just didn't. I am not sure if I will finish the trilogy or if I am going to call it after this book.
