Review Quotes: Praise for The Looking Glass Wars
"Beddor makes ample use of Carroll-esque humor and wit. An entertaining diversion."--Publishers Weekly "If you are interested in watching the birth of a well-thought out franchise, then this is for you. If you are simply curious or a hard-core fan of fantasy fiction, the looking glass awaits."--Children's Literature "Alice in Wonderland gets an update in this first installment of a planned trilogy. Can she survive assassination attempts by the vicious Cat with nine lives, a spy amongst her faithful followers, a trek across the Chessboard Desert to Redd's fortress at Mount Isolation and a duel of White vs. Black Imagination?"--Kirkus Reviews "Beddor offers some intriguing reimaginings of Dodgson's concepts (such as looking-glass travel) and characters (the cat is an assassin with nine lives). His attention has, happily, put Wonderland back on the map again."--Booklist
