HPL Alice in Wonderland Fantasy Chess Set with 17 1/2″ Castle / Fortress Board Silver-Plated Alice in Wonderland Charm Bracelet A boy with a mop of striking white hair, wearing an expensive but oversized waistcoat, slipped between us and was gone again in a flash. Alice," William shouted, pulling me close, shielding me. Blood and bits of the Queen of Hearts sprayed around the room." (p.211) Against my better judgement, I looked. The Queen grinned at me while she sat in her bath of blood holding a human heart in her hands." (p. 150)

There has been murder in Wonderland! Or has there?! The Queen’s Guard has disappeared and The Wonderland Detective Agency needs your help to find out what happened. This quest is similar to a popular board game you may have played outside Wonderland where the aim is to find out which suspect, in which room with which murder weapon. William grinned. "Well, it wasn't exactly a kiss that came to mind," he said. His eyes met mine. William and I had been friends since we had been children. Somewhere along the way, we'd fallen in love. But the transition had been smooth. As of yet, we'd never quite crossed the line into a more physical relationship. It wasn't that I didn't want him. It was just that the timing had never felt quite right." (p.115) If you enjoy retellings, especially Alice In Wonderland ones, then this is a novel for you! In fact, this is just the start of a series of steampunk retellings with the next one being Beauty and the Beast! I’m super excited to see what Karsak has planned for my favorite tale!

The experience on average lasts 45 minutes to an hour (most people take an hour) and we are fully wheelchair accessible Curiouser and Curiouser is yet another hit from Melaine Karsak, one of my favorite authors. In this she takes the story of Alice in Wonderland and turns it on its head, adding something altogether new to a story very familiar with retellings. I have listened to Lesley Parkin in one other audio, Highland Raven, also a Melaine Karsak book and loved her work then. Curiouser and Curiouser is no exception. She does a plethora of accents and different pitches for the assortment of characters and reads through smoothly. As someone who frequently hits the 2x speed option to move things along, I am always surprised to find narrators that I simply want to enjoy. I will certainly be adding more of her work to my TBR in the future. Silver Plated Alice in Wonderland Charm Bracelet Alice in Wonderland 3-Tier China Teacup Cake StandI really liked the audio narration. Typically I struggle with accents but this one was just right to keep it engaging and keep my attention. I enjoyed the voices, especially the sweet little voice given to Alice's sister. Lesley Parkin provides the outstanding narration of Curiouser and Curiouser. This is the first time I’ve ever listened to her. Sometimes I have a learning curve with a new narrator, but I experienced no issues following her performance from the get-go. Her voice is clear and easy to understand. Her pacing is spot-on. She expresses all the expected emotions and the voices she used for the characters are ideal fits. Her south London accent made listening to this audio book a pure pleasure. I can’t wait to listen to her again soon!

Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories ever. Or better said: It's one of my favorite worlds and concepts ever. I've read a lot of retellings during the last few years, some better than others, but I don't think I came across a Steampunk one yet. Let me start this review with the fact that I'm not that into Steampunk and don't know that much about it, but I was curious anyway. Unfortunately this excerpt is exemplary of the whole book. Despite the simple sentences and writing style, I found myself confused over little things in this book constantly.

She was strong, courageous and fiesty, just as expected! However, her love interest, William, I just couldn't stand. Pompous, pig-headed and basically, a waste of oxygen, I think the book would have been better without his dreadful input. Make your own tea or coffee in this exclusive Disney Alice in Wonderland Tea Press Set. Great for tea drinkers who love using loose-leaf tea. Comes with a bag of tea to test it out.

The Red Queen and White Queen can be steampunked up, however the original versions are more Victorian than steampunk. You can embellish any of these costumes with gears and create your own scepter or alter the one shown below. Need the perfect Mother’s Day or birthday gift for an Alice in Wonderland fan? This planter is a great idea. Made of resin, this pot can be placed indoors or outdoors to ramble in your garden. Holds a 5-inch potted plant. I do wish the steampunk elements had been in depth. They were only hinted at in small doses. Maybe if the book had been longer then more could have been explored.I'm left wondering if the sentence "but the transition had been smooth" is meant to read "but the transition hadn't been smooth". Either way, it does't really make sense to me. Also, they live together. How they hell have they not found the "timing" to get it on? And why not? How does that serve the story? It is only a detriment to the believe-ability of their relationship. So why? I don't even like romance. Why am I advocating for it? Because it would have made their relationship better, that's why. Just a little bit of sexual tension would have added another level to their dynamic. Instead, their interactions are cheesy and boring and predictable.

Instead of "STEAMPUNK ALICE IN WONDERLAND", the tag-line for this book should be "AN ALICE IN WONDERLAND/STEAMPUNK THEMED ROMANCE".
