This one caught my eye firstly because I thought it might have been Alice in Wonderland related, but it sounds brilliant. I like fantasy as long as it's infused with dystopian or another genre to soften it. Otherwise it gets a bit too geeky and wordy for me.<br /><br />Can't wait until you read this one too, then you, me and Joy can all fangirl or discuss it if it was crappy.
