Description
She missed the days of wonder. But those days were long past. All that remained was the anger. You may think you know the story of the Queen of Hearts, the bloodthirsty tyrant known for seeing red. Surely you've heard of the young girl Alice, who fell through the rabbit hole to a place called Wonderland, and how she defeated its villainous ruler in order to find her way back home. But have you ever wondered about the Queen's own first day in Wonderland? Did she encounter the same show more wonders--and horrors--as Alice? Are the laws of the land her royal decree--or a desperate attempt to bring order to a place that refuses to make sense? And why is she so angry? It may be hard to answer, with any certainty, questions about a world created from the broken shards of others. In the end, it all comes down to a woman fighting against the darkness within, and her unlikely friendship with a little white rabbit. show lessTags

In this installment of the Disney "Villains" series, we follow the Queen of Hearts as she finds herself in Wonderland amidst a bevy of talking animals, seemingly insane people, and terrifying creatures.
I think it's time to put this series to bed. It's run it's course. So far, this has been the least coherent for me. In this book, multiple storylines ranging from the beginning of the series weave their way into the story. This is a lot. Our next villain was revealed at the end of the book, and this is grasping at straws. It's obscure. Though undoubtedly a villain, it's not someone I think of when asked about "Disney villains".
The book's strong point is the relationship between the Queen of Hearts and the White Rabbit. I truly enjoyed show more seeing that develop. I also liked the imagined backstory for the Queen.
I'll keep on reading the series, because I don't like to leave a series unfinished. But I hope that it comes to an end sooner rather than later. show less

hope those w... (show all)e love will meet us there. - First words
