This was an elite read, a treasure for every person who is fond of Alice in Wonderland thus should read it, it is heartbreaking and made me cry a whole lot especially from chapter 47 till the end, absolutely recommend!

Ich fand das Buch irgendwie total random. Die Schreibweise war nicht meins. Kann sein, dass es auch war, weil ich in den letzten Tagen immer nur wenige Seiten am Stück gelesen habe, aber es war irgendwie bis zum letzten Ende überhaupt nicht spannend. Die ganze Geschichte hat sich mehr wie so ein prequel angefühlt. Aber die Idee ist süß, und ich mochte Jest und Cath wirklich gerne zusammen. Das Ende aber… 😭😭💔

The book definitely wasn’t bad. I actually thought the world-building was incredibly detailed, and it was so easy to picture everything in my head: the balls, the hat shop, the Pinkertons’ mansion. It really captured that classic Alice in Wonderland atmosphere. It felt like a more mature version while still keeping that whimsical, fairytale-like charm, which I really enjoyed. The story was very slow-paced, although you could feel the chemistry between the Fool and Cath right from the beginning. The overall plot was good, but it was also fairly predictable. That being said, I did enjoy the book overall. My biggest issue was the pacing. There were a lot of side scenes that didn’t really contribute much to the main story and often felt like they were just there to fill pages. At times, it became so slow and dragged out that I actually put the book down for a few months because I had absolutely no motivation to keep reading. Now that I’ve finally finished it, I’d say it’s a solid book. I liked it, but it wasn’t nearly as amazing as I expected it to be.
