  Cover of “Alice the Dagger” by Ashley McLeo. I’m back with another book review, and this time I’m reviewing “Alice The Dagger” by Ashley McLeo! I’ve read other Alice In Wonderland-inspired titles before, including “A Blade So Black” and “I Am Alice: Body Swap In Wonderland.” However, I hadn’t read an Alice In Wonderland-inspired title or retelling for quite some time. It was nice to pick up…

the way Daemon immediately moved when he saw Criston about to join the fray...

Alice the Dagger (The Wonderland Court #1) by Ashley McLeo

Page no.: 418 Genres: new adult, retelling, urban fantasy, romance Stars: ★★★☆☆ Publication date: November 17, 2020 Publisher: Independently Published

Review:

As exciting as the blurb sounded, the actual story didn't hit me as hard. It was a really close retelling of the original, with only little tweaks here and there, which was the downside for me. I adore the concept of Wonderland, but there is a depth that is lacking in the original source due to its nature of being written for children, which I would have loved to see developed more in a NA/Adult retelling.

I don't blame the writing so much as the choice to stick to the source so strictly, but we all enjoy different things. For me, this fell into the same shallow urban fantasy pit as many fae takes do.

I’m not saying it's a bad take, it’s just… didn't really move me in one way or another.

Hatter, as always, is the heart of this story, but other than him, it left me feeling like watching the Tim Burton film again.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

My MC Alice’s RAD Uniform redesign of 2023! I actually identify my sona with Fire Emblem so much (She low-key exists in the FE Verse since 2017) so I thought I’ll keep her roots and it’s basically FE Fates!Alice in the Devildom- Of course, one cannot forget about her crow Fool! I also gave her a sheep form as I wanted to draw this cuddly sheep since forever kekek- (The ribbon’s color is customizable, each Demon’s color is represented but I chose blue because it’s Lucifer <3)

Anyhow, this is something small I did, because I truly wanted to give my girl a new design!! 💙

#obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me nightbringer #obey me mc #custom character #alice draws #Look #it’s not that complicated #She’s basically not noble #but she was made noble for her deeds as a knight in service under the royal family #Anyway #I don’t know if you can guess that name of the kingdom I have mantioned #unless you played Fire Emblem Fates and you know me #I’ll give you a virtual cookie if you can name it #Lucifer would absolutely be FASCINATED by her old-fashioned way of speaking #Bet everyone would be scared because she has a DAGGER??? #One shall NOT challenge her to a duel #Fire Emblem #Because I can

the show was pretty unclear as to what exactly went down when alicent secretly visited viserys on the orders of otto for 6 months but i find it very indicative of victim blaming culture when fans say she seduced viserys and not instead ask the imperative question of why is viserys attracted to his daughter’s 15 year old best friend?

#i was just reading youtube comments on the dagger scene from 1x07 and got annoyed all over again #but i say it was unclear bc in 1x02 implied that vis r4ped alicent that night when otto asked her if she was going to see him #i cant even use the words slept together bc there was nothing consensual about that relationship #pro alicent hightower

ughghgh... Rhae and Daemon... this should've been it's own chapter

"I gave you everything, child." Daemon asserts calmly. "Liar!" Rhae forgets her fear and her patience, jabbing at his chest. "You killed Rhea Royce. Do you deny it? You left me with nothing!" "I gave you more than most men could ever dream of!" Daemon snaps so harshly Rhae stumbles a step backward. "A castle, titles. An uncontested ascension! You've taken the life of peace I'd promised you and you've squandered it!" Rhae cannot believe her ears. "You expect me to be grateful?" "I expected you to stay in the Vale! Away from the likes of those rats and all their bullshit politicking." Daemon snarls in disgust. "Yet you're determined to insert yourself where you don't belong." "I belong wherever I deem myself to belong." "Stupid child." Daemon's eyes narrow, Rhae yelps as he seizes her by her burnt wrist and dragging her discolored fingers to eye level once more. "Have you learned nothing from your failures? How many times must you be burned to understand?" Rhae tries to rip herself away, but it's useless. She can see his nails digging into her skin and finds herself thankful she can't feel it. "You may be my daughter, but you have none of my blood. You bleat and think it a roar, little lamb. Dragons know the difference. Why else would Sheepstealer have turned on you?" Rhae wonders vaguely when he'd learned about her encounter with Sheepstealer, but the question is drowned in a haze of devastation. The sun is getting very low now, and Rhae tries to focus on the crash of the waves. She tastes salt at her lips. She'd always known this was how meeting her father would go, hadn't she? So why did it hurt so much? "You're wrong." She meant to shout, but her words came out more a whimper. Is it true? Do I bleat like a sheep? " You're wrong!" She cries, more forcefully this time. Rather than trying to pull herself away from Daemon, she shoves into him with all her might. He staggers back a step before wrapping his arms around her in a binding embrace. Having lost the advantage of surprise, Rhae writhes against him now. But his hold only tightens. She cries. He pulls her tighter. It's only when she's exhausted herself, her face hot and wet with tears, that he lets go. "Run back to your pasture, Rhae." Daemon whispers. "Can't you see I'm trying to spare you?" He cups her face in his hand, forcing her to look up at him. "Stay out of the way of what's coming. Whatever you may think of me... I'd hate to see you burned again."

Just need to pull it and look at it on it's own. I'm so crazy about their relationship and I want to write more between them but... the nature of their dynamic is one of extreme absence

#ive written another 300 words today? #so far #2k on the eye loss aftermath and Alicent hasn't even grabbed the dagger yet #rereading last chapter is so much more fun though :( #there's so much more divergence from the episode and opportunity to be creative #i gotta get through this though its important obvs #i think i had a commenter once predict that Rhae would yell at Viserys during the eye-loss scene which #would be fun i guess but it would also be deeply unserious #it's not Rhae's place to speak up esp when none of the other green kids do until they're called on

Lore: absolutely impossible love story full of rivalry and hate that once was deep connection in a fantasy universe with a lot of medieval suggestions.

What's with these homies who be dissin' my boy? Don't they know I'm aggravated with the negativity and the noise? They tell me "find a wealthy man," but they don't seem too happy I was afraid to put myself on the line for a boy Until he put me in my place and showed me how to enjoy myself I think I need your help, I think she's coming back

You're the only one who's making me come To my sinful senses I'll never love anyone the same I'll never feel ashamed of using you for pleasure
