Dorothy Must Die meets Alice in Wonderland! This is not a story of happily ever after – it’s the twisted YA origin story of an infamous villain… Dinah is a princess, the future Queen of Hearts, who will one day reign over Wonderland. Unaware of the dark depths of her kingdom; she longs only for her father’s approval and to reign with the boy she loves. But when a betrayal breaks her heart and threatens her throne, Dinah is launched into the dangers of Wonderland. She must stay one step ahead of her enemies or she’ll lose not just the crown, it will be off with her head! Evil is brewing in Wonderland, and maybe, most frighteningly, in Dinah herself. The first in an epic, imaginative series tells the origin of one of the most infamous villains – the Queen of Hearts. REVIEW
Princess Dinah is set to take over Wonderland from her father. Her brother, the mad hatter, cannot rule and she is his only other heir or so she thinks. Then her father introduces her half sister to her. As she tries to carry out her duties, she soon learns that there are many secrets being kept in the palace. This reimagining of Wonderland was interesting, with a dark edge to it. It was quite clear to me what the 'plan' was from the beginning, but when you consider Dinah's relationship with her father and how she was raised, she has no reason to think anything different. The story moved at a good pace and there is a book two as this ends on something of a cliffhanger. I will definitely be checking out the next book. 4 out of 5 stars.
