Curiouser and Curiouser: Steampunk Alice in Wonderland: 1 (Romantasy Fairy Tales)

Product Information

Decorate your Alice in Wonderland-themed party with these adorable miniature 5-inch table centerpieces. Use them on a display table or prop them on your mantelpiece during an Alice in Wonderland costume party. You can use them to split your group into separate teams, each with their own character as mascot. In case you were wondering about the steampunk elements in this book... they are minimal like I said. Our characters travel in airships and there are some automatons at the end. There is also this stupid mechanical cat that doesn't add to the plot or anything. It is only there so that they could name it Cheshire and call it "steampunk". Ugh. So basically, this book has a steampunk skin (meaning that the steampunk elements are only skin deep). I'm tired of books like this that call themselves "steampunk", but really only have the most stereotypical steampunk aesthetics like corsets, automatons, goggles, parasols, etc. I just can't even with this book. There is so much potential here for a good story that it makes my heart sad at how poorly executed this was. I mean, if the plot hadn't been so watered-down and boring and the writing hadn't been simplistic and confusing, this really could have been a fun, interesting book. There are some really lovely ready-made costumes for Alice in Wonderland. Since there are so many, this post will focus on these costumes. There will be another post to discuss handmade costumes and making your own DIY costume. Alice

I really liked the audio narration. Typically I struggle with accents but this one was just right to keep it engaging and keep my attention. I enjoyed the voices, especially the sweet little voice given to Alice's sister. Setting (4/5): This whole world is well done, it’s a steampunk London and the story stays in the city. The particulars about how this steampunk London is run with the airships and layout are very well done. This was a creative and fun setting that was easy to picture. Off with Your Shoes!

I liked it. I had some issues with it, but as a whole it was good. I probably won't reread ever, but there is a chance I might finish the series. (If part of one) But if not it's not a huge loss. I never read anything that has to do with Steampunk. I know what steampunk is but I've never fully looked into the subject matter. I saw this and since I haven't read many Alice in Wonderland retellings Curiouser and Curiouser: Steampunk Alice in Wonderland (Steampunk Fairy Tales Book 1) Alice In Wonderland – Set of Four Prints (8×10) Unframed

From the end of August we are mixing things up and having some days as Who Stole the Tarts and some days as Murder in Wonderland and some a mix of the two. Most have one character in with the exception of Saturday 27th August which has two. A boy with a mop of striking white hair, wearing an expensive but oversized waistcoat, slipped between us and was gone again in a flash. Teapots, flamingos, whimsy, and chaos... it's all in this book that is a kind of retelling of the classic Alice in Wonderland but with many differences that assist in making it it's own story. All of the beloved characters make an appearance in some form or fashion and Alice is recreated to be a strong heroine that is intelligent and resourceful, but makes mistakes. Series Info/Source: This is the first book in the Steampunk Fairy Tales. There are five books in this series. I borrowed this through Kindle Unlimited.

If you know someone who collects chess sets or Alice in Wonderland figurines, they will love this Alice in Wonderland Fantasy Chess Set. Figurines are made in resin, made to be played although you can set them up as a display for parties. Makes a great gift for a special occasion. Lesley Parkin provides the outstanding narration of Curiouser and Curiouser. This is the first time I’ve ever listened to her. Sometimes I have a learning curve with a new narrator, but I experienced no issues following her performance from the get-go. Her voice is clear and easy to understand. Her pacing is spot-on. She expresses all the expected emotions and the voices she used for the characters are ideal fits. Her south London accent made listening to this audio book a pure pleasure. I can’t wait to listen to her again soon! But anyway. The writing in this book isn't good. In all honesty, the story wasn't terrible. It was just written terribly. Take this paragraph for example: Curiouser and Curiouser doesn't retell the story of Alice in Wonderland. It is a totally original story by Melanie Karsak that uses the names from Alice in Wonderland to tell what is basically a romance. I'm pretty sure the author is just writing and self-publishing her own fantasies, and that is totally fine. However, I can't help feel that Karsak is misleading the reader by stamping STEAMPUNK ALICE IN WONDERLAND in all-caps on the top of her book. The steampunk elements in this book are minimal and the Alice elements are minimal so... why? Just why? She has a total of four "steampunk fairy tales" books, and I'm sure the other three are similar to this one. Curiouser and Curiouser is yet another hit from Melaine Karsak, one of my favorite authors. In this she takes the story of Alice in Wonderland and turns it on its head, adding something altogether new to a story very familiar with retellings.
