REVIEW:
Breathtaking. Deep. Captivating.
On a quest to discover the real Wonderland and the Ivory King, the characters of Sara Ella's, Looking Glass Illusions, are tossed into a very different world than they ever imagined and are tasked to discover what is illusion and what is reality. They must learn that this is no longer just a game and in order to slay the Jabberwock, and find the King they will have to face their greatest fear...themselves, for the fate of Wonderland lies on them.
I don't even know how to begin to explain this beautiful story. It captured my emotions and never let them go. It was impossible to put it down. All the characters became my new best friends and even though a few of them got on my nerves with their stubbornness, they only got more lovable.
The adorable romance had me smiling half the time I was reading it and crying through the other half. I just can’t believe how Sara Ella can write such a wonder filled and emotional story.
The Looking Glass Illusions is an incredible book and if you are a lover of all things fairytale and wonderland, then this will be your perfect cup of tea.
WARNINGS:
Violence // Romance
TAKEAWAYS:
The themes of this book brought it to a whole new level. Alice Liddell had to surrender her unbelief to what was unseen and believe in the impposible. Believe in Wonderland. The Real Wonderland. All we need to do is let go of our stubborn hearts and believe. And we can give our battles to the Victor of the world, God.
Step through the looking glass. Slay the Jabberwock. Seek the King.
Alice is not prepared to face what awaits beyond the Tulgey Wood. When she and the rest of Team Heart enter the fourth and final Wonderland Trial, it’s up to her to lead them to victory. But this Trial is more than a game. If Alice and the others fail to defeat the Jabberwock and reveal the truth about Wonderland, more than points and fame will be lost.
Chess Shire never believed he’d make it this far. Now he’s stuck navigating a Trial he’s seen but doesn’t remember, all while searching for the brother he left behind. Not everything is as black and white as the game that shares his name. And if Alice discovers his deepest regret? Chess might just lose her too.
Apart, Chess and Alice scour the eight squares of the Heart Trial in search of memories, truth, and an Ivory King who seems more illusion than reality. Will they learn to lead together to face their greatest fears? Or will they remain pawns in a queen’s game, never truly seeing the Wonderland they’ve come to believe in?
Read the whole series!
Once upon a time, Sara Ella brought dreams to life as a Disney cast member, wishing for the day she’d find her prince and live in a castle of her own. Now she spends her days homeschooling her three Jedi in training, braving the Arizona summers, and reminding her superhero husband that it's almost Christmas (even if it's only January). Sara is the award-winning author of The Wonderland Trials, Coral, and the Unblemished trilogy. She is old enough for fairy tales and believes happily ever after is never far away.
