Okay, make more sense now? Yeah, definitely sounds like an interesting read. The Looking Glass Wars unabashedly challenges our Wonderland assumptions of mad tea parties, sleepy dormice, and a curious little blond girl to revel an epic battle in the endless war for Imagination.
Meet the heroic, passionate, monstrous, vengeful denizens of this parallel world as they battle each other with AD-52s and orb generators, navigate the Crystal Continuum, bet on jabberwock fights and travel across the Chessboard Desert. He even misspelled her name! If not for royal bodyguard Hatter Madigan's nonstop search to locate the lost princess, Alyss may have become just another society woman sipping tea in a too-tight bodice instead of returning to Wonderland to fight Redd for her rightful place as the Queen of Hearts. Alyss had trusted Lewis Carroll to tell the truth so that someone, somewhere would find her and bring her home. Lost and alone in Victorian London, Alyss is befriended by an aspiring author to whom she tell the surreal, violent, heartbreaking story of her young life only to see it published as the nosensical Alice' sAdventures in Wonderland.
Confused yet? Well, perhaps this synopsis (a slightly altered version from the official website) will help to clear it up: Alyss Heart, heir to the Wonderland throne, was forced to flee through the Pool of Tears after a bloody palace coup staged by her murderous aunt Redd. It's more like a completely unique story that references characters from the book, and claims that the book was written by Lewis Carroll after he heard the fascinating tale from Alyss, except that Lewis Carroll changed the story to turn it into a children's fairy tale. I don't think calling it an "alternate universe" would be quite right either. or, actually I don't know if "based on" is the right term. Apparently it's a novel by Frank Beddor based on the Lewis Carroll novel Through The Looking Glass.
If you've never head of The Looking Glass Wars, then you and I are in the same boat.
