Red Queen

De: Christina Henry

Narrado por: Jenny Sterlin

The author of Alice takes listeners back down the rabbit hole to a dark, twisted, and fascinating world based on the works of Lewis Carroll.

The land outside of the Old City was supposed to be green, lush, hopeful. A place where Alice could finally rest, no longer the plaything of the Rabbit, the pawn of Cheshire, or the prey of the Jabberwocky. But the verdant fields are nothing but ash - and hope is nowhere to be found.

Still, Alice and Hatcher are on a mission to find his daughter, a quest they will not forsake even as it takes them deep into the clutches of the mad White Queen and her goblin or into the realm of the twisted and cruel Black King. The pieces are set, and the game has already begun. Each move brings Alice closer to her destiny. But to win she will need to harness her newfound abilities and ally herself with someone even more powerful - the mysterious and vengeful Red Queen.

A little magic

I loved the narration, she does an absolutely wonderful job. And the way the story is told is beautiful.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a little magic.

Grown up version for Alice and Wonderland readers

This sequel continues the story of Alice and Hatcher in search of his lost daughter, Jeni. Filled with mystery and adventure again similar to the first book but I feel more interesting to listen to. Didn’t want to stop listening and couldn’t wait o see what challenges came upon Alice as she tried to find Hatcher. I recommend this series if you like twists about original stories. After reading this series I may listen to some of the authors others twist of classics stories. Do not listen to this book until you have listened to the first book since it takes up from where the other left off. The narrator does a great job of keeping the reader entranced in the story although some of her voices can be annoying.

More magical, less horrific than Alice

This is the 2nd book in the Alice series. I waited to listen to The Red Queen because I needed a respite from the heft of "Alice". But, I needn't have done so. It is not nearly as dark and disturbing, having more to do with Alice's magic and growth beyond the grisly old city and false new city. She is no longer merely reacting to things around her / things happening to her, she is now learning how to respond with using magic or not. All in all, a satisfying conclusion (if this is the last one in the series). Having said that, there is still some room for a third book...

Captivating

I love when a book takes you there. Alice goes from an impulsive little girl to a strong intelligent woman.

Red vs White

The Red Queen another great adventure as we crawl deeper down the rabbit hole into the Alice Chronicles. It sad to see us loose a few good characters but here Alice begins to unlock her true magical abilities with the help of the red queen and Hatcher becomes the blood craving beast he knew he always with the white queens forceful magic. The white queen also carrys with her two secrets that will impact our hero’s. I hope Alice no - I WISH Alice gets her happy ending soon.

A Fair Sequel

Maybe a little less gruesome than the first. Not entirely an Alice in Wonderland tale, but a pretty good Fantasy novel at any rate.

Listened in one sitting at 2x. Narration editing in this production was better this time. Less breathy and less mouth noises.

Great story and characters!

enjoyed this story and the way that the narrator read it!! Enjoyed this story as much as the first book!!

A different spin on Alice

If you want to try something new and different. This series follows Alice as she face her fears and traumas and becomes the woman she was meant to be.
