7/2/2023 0 Comments Red Queen by Christina Henry![]() ![]() I received this book for free from First to Read in exchange for an honest review. Red Queen was a good read, and one I'd recommend. ![]() Still, it reads very well as a stand alone novel, so if you want to pick up the story here, I'd say go for it. There is a prologue in the beginning told from Cheshire's point of view which gives a run down of the first book, but I feel, compared to the rest of the text, it could have been handled a bit more deftly instead of 'oh, just stick a prologue on it'. Then again, I've only ever read one series in order (Lord of the Rings, because my mom was digging the books out of a box in the attic). Now, I do have to say that I didn't read the first book in the series. ![]() It's very readable, and I read through it very quickly. The prose was wonderful, the world had that magical, otherworldly quality I love so much. An Alice in Wonderland inspired story, it was both darker than the original, but held the same 'feel' as, I think, many expect a tale about Alice, any Alice, to hold. ![]()
