If you make a deal with evil, be prepared for the consequences.

When a metal dragon kidnaps Alice, Hatter gathers the troops and charges off to rescue her. If only things were so uncomplicated. In the Ivory Kingdom, they find upheaval of the worst kind and all heading to civil war spearheaded by a man known as the Bandersnatch.

Turmoil and the terror of fighting against a giant wolf, the Bandersnatch is bad enough, but when the Ivory Queen’s secrets are exposed, Hatter and Alice face off in a battle of wills and points of view. How can Alice trust a woman who deceived them? Why can’t Hatter see the bigger picture? If they don’t reconcile their differences, more could be at risk than the Ivory Kingdom.

More questions than answers bombard them in their quest for truth and freedom for all. Who is stealing children? What dark secret overshadows the Ivory Kingdom? Can they avoid the Bandersnatch’s clutches? And most important of all, who can they trust?

Loved the story!

The story is brillient! The author is beautifully descriptive, and I loved seeing the world she's created expand. I love seeing Alice's relationships develop, romantically with Hatter, and her newly discovered sibling relationships. I really enjoyed the addition of Chessie! Probably my new favorite character. Scarlet was also a great new addition to the cast! I love how much she relates and looks up to Alice, and speaking of Scarlet, I also liked the was the Little Red Riding Hood elements come into play.

I still didn't enjoy the virtual voice narration, but at least I wasn't caught off guard by it this time. There's no concistency in the quality of the delivery. The AI knows that narrators change their tone of voice, but doesn't understand when it should happen, leading to oddly read lines. Some emotional lines are delivered flatly, and others with voice inflection that implies the wrong emotion. It's just very inconsistent and takes away from my overall enjoyment of the book.
