The Wonderland Trials; a Review

Hey, everyone! 👋🏼🥰 How are you all? I’ve been very well! 🤗 Apologies for the lateness in posting, life has been busy. 🤣 But I hope you enjoy today’s review. 😉💕

“The Wonderland Trials” by Sara Ella

Solve the clues. Face your fears. Survive the Trials.

All Alice Liddell wants is to escape her Normal life in Oxford and find the parents who abandoned her ten years ago. But she gets more than she bargained for when her older sister Charlotte is arrested for having the infamous Wonder Gene—the key to unlocking the curious Wonderland Reality.

Soon, Alice receives a rather cryptic invitation to play for Team Heart in this year’s annual—and often deadly—Wonderland Trials. Now she has less than twenty-four hours to find her way into Wonderland where nothing is impossible . . . or what it seems.

The stakes are raised when she discovers players go missing during the Trials each year. Will she and her team solve the clues and find the missing players? Or will betrayal and distrust win, leaving Alice alone in a world of her own? Follow the White Rabbit into this topsy-turvy fantasy where players become prey, a sip of the wrong tea might as well be poison, and a queen’s ways do not always lead one where they ought to go.

I loved this one so much! 💗 Often times it’s hard to please me with retellings unless they’re just so, but TWT was different. It took many elements from Lewis Carroll’s work, shook them up, and put them in a new plot entirely. I found this wonderful because it allows you to compare the similarities without worrying over the dissimilarities. 🤔🥰

CWs: Fighting and injuries, not at all graphic. One kissing scene, sweet and minimal. Gambling.
