Why read it?
1 author picked The Looking Glass Wars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
How could I name such a list without going to Wonderland? This book is one of my favorite Alice in Wonderland adaptations.
The essence of Wonderland is this magical place where nothing makes sense, and everything is as it shouldn’t be. I love this book, though, because it talks about the technology of Wonderland. There are weapons and machines in this Wonderland, and when the two clash, all hell breaks loose.
Steampunk, in and of itself, lends itself well to the merging of magic and technology because the technology we are talking about is powered by a completely different source…
From Lyra's list on fantasy books where magic and mayhem frolic with robots and mechanisms.
