Why did I love this book?
It’s written with so much detail that you can picture yourself being the main character.
It’s a different twist on Wonderland and I am a big fan of Lewis Carroll so anything having to do with Wonderland or Alice in Wonderland I enjoy reading. I love reading books where authors take a classic, put their own spin on it, and create something beautiful.
For me, this was one of those books that I couldn’t put down and I got so hooked that I ended up reading the whole series.
Splintered was a crazy ride. It was a whole new approach to Wonderland. It made me fall in love with two of the main characters and that’s a special kind of book when you fall in love with someone in the pages of a book. Splintered was an absolute page-turner—I didn’t want to put it down and risk not reading it—I never wanted it to end. I honestly wish I could live within the pages of Splintered.
