Hello people, plans for the week?
There's another book I want to share with you, a retelling that I loved, made me find my inner child again and that will do the same for you if you like fantasy, adventure and romance. Even the cover is perfect!
The story is light, interesting, and with Wonderland's glorious, strange enchant. Source. |

I received this book sometime
ago, but because of my dear, sweet computer, the file got lost in the depths of
the unknown with many others. It wasn’t until recently that I could
recover some of them, including “Mad About the Hatter,” by Dakota Chase, one of
the best things that have happened to me these days.
The story is pretty simple: Alice’s
brother, Henry, is sent to Wonderland and look for the Mad Hatter, and soon,
both of them are hunted by the Red Queen’s Red Guards. What they do not expect
is to start liking each other, way much more than just friends.
Before anyone says anything,
there’s no sex. “Mad About the Hatter” is a sweet story focused on adventure,
the dangerous and curious fantasy that fills Wonderland and the relation of all
the characters with each other, highlighting the one between Henry and Hatter,
of course.
The story is light, interesting,
and with Wonderland's glorious, strange enchant, the
kind of world that gives the author a full chance to be as creative and crazy
as possible. Chase took it greatly, proving to be very imaginative, filled with
funny and colorfull ideas, different concepts that, besides entertaining, also
teach something valuable to the readers.
I’m more inclined to think that we all can imagine the real end of this story. Source. |
Every page has an adventure on
its own, with so many events that sometimes you gt caught in a rush to know
what happens next, bitting nails and lips because of the nerves, and other
times smiling as an idiot in front of your phone's screen. Henry and Hatter are
very human, funny and lovely characters I’d like to see again.
Despite it is a shame that this
is a stand-alone story and I would love a sequel, part of its magic is that
open ending scene, the perfect fairy tale moment when everything’s perfectly in
peace. Some may argue that it doesn’t tell anything about the future, but I’m
more inclined to think that we all can imagine the real end of this story.
I have problems with the final
scene with the Queen and with the fact that Hatter was named just that, Hatter,
with no real name for him. Those were the only two flaws I could see, but since
the rest of the book is so good, I can almost forget about the second one; the
first… not so much.
By the way, there were so many
different environments that made me fall in love with this world that I
think I’d even read the book again a couple of times. There are many dangerous
as well, but with Hatter as a guide, I know I’d end up pretty much in one
piece, just as Henry did.
Many, many thanks to the publisher
for sending this copy, and my deepest apologies for taking way too much time to
read this book.
Greetings and hugs!
