Another excellent story; However, I did not enjoy this one as much as the first book.
Alice and Hatcher continue on their adventures. They are in search for Hatcher's his daughter, Jenny, and along they way they get caught up on a battle between sisters and lovers and a whole lot of stolen magic. There are sad bits with character deaths and he burning of green, lush valleys. And a village has had most of their children stolen.
Alice comes into her own in this story. She learns more about herself and gains more confidence. And this is the one time where a love story is going on in the background of a horror/fantasy story and I don't mind. I have no idea if Alice and Hatcher will finally get it together, but I am rooting for them.
The story was good and had twists and turns, it just wasn't quite as good as the first book in the series. It's the curse of the sequel perhaps. Either way I will continue with the series when the next book is released to see where adventure leads Alice and Hatcher next.

This continues The Chronicles of Alice and I liked this book even better than the first book in the series. This book had more questing, adventuring, and magic than the first. It was still a very very dark story but it didn't have quite as much violence as the first book did.
I really enjoyed it and I absolutely loved the writing style Henry wrote the story in. The writing style is very fairytale-like and descriptive and really makes the story come alive.
This is one of those book where you just never know what's going to be on the next page; it's just one incredibly creative surprise after the next.
I love that Hatcher and Alice both grow as characters throughout the story in their own twisted way. Alice spends a vast portion of this book alone, something she's never been in her whole life, and it helps her to gain new strength both in her magic and in her confidence.
I continue to adore the strangely sweet relationship that Hatcher and Alice have for each other, it just fits the tone of the book so absolutely perfectly.
The end of this book wraps things up nicely and then sets up for another adventure in the future for Hatcher and Alice.
Overall I am absolutely adoring this series and can't wait to read more about Hatcher and Alice. The writing is beautiful, the story is very creative, and I love the dark fairytale like quality to it. I am dying to see what adventures the third book holds for us!
