Seeing Redd (The Looking Glass Wars) (original 2007; edition 2007)

The Second book in the Looking Glass Wars suffers from the same problems as the first book. There is some character development for Hatter and King Arch but only slightly. I found the story slightly more interesting but being this is the middle book of the trilogy I will, for better or worse have to find out what happens in book 3. Overall another so-so outing in wonderland. ( )

This is the second book in the Looking Glass Wars series.

Once again we're back in Wonderland with Alyss now Queen.

Redd is on Earth, brought into the world by a painter. She is plotting, again, to rid herself of Alyss. Shes gaining forces on Earth, while in Wonderland, King Arch is gathering his forces to take over.

I really loved this book. I like ll of the characters, even the annoying caterpillars. This is a really imaginative story and I cant wait to get my hands on the next book. ( )

I never really cared for Alice In Wonderland, but this has me wanting to go back and re-read it. It's a really great series. ( )

I do love the Alice in Wonderland books, and the twist on the original idea by Lewis Carol is what drew me to this series in the first place. The mathematical genius of Carol is absent from these books.

This book is an interesting continuation of the looking glass wars, started in the first book of the series. The way the author has re-imagined Lewis Carol's [Alice in Wonderland] is fantastic and very creative. He leaves enough of the nonsense of Wonderland in, without destroying a wonderful world. I really enjoy the twists and turns in the characters and the the world. The story-line is entertaining, but perhaps could have been finished in this second book.

My favorite characters are Hatter Madigan and Homburg Molly. I'm not sure that I would continue reading the series if it weren't for these delightful and exciting characters. I love the idea of the Milinary and the use of the Hatter's hat as a weapon. ( )

Alyss and her supporters may have banished Redd to the depths of the crystal, but the peace in Wonderland is far from easy. When Homburg Molly goes missing and hoards of deadly Glass Eyes attack, suspicion falls first on the absent Redd, but all is not as it first appears....

The continuation of Looking Glass War ups the ante and keeps the suspense level high. ( )
