The Book
Release Date: 3 July 2021
Mal is no longer a Fixer but the Queen of two of Laddenworn’s kingdoms: Redd and Hart. Although the Bloody Reign has ended, Wonderland has not been set free.
Because Wonderland does not exist right now. Mal and her men are trapped inside a toxic fairy tale, made dark and bloody by the infection of another. Their biggest problem now is figuring out what triggered Wonderland’s break and how to right it.
However, there are questions left unanswered and mysteries left to solve. What happened to the original Queens of Wonderland? Where is Wyat’s kindle? Where is the looking glass? How can Madness be cured? And although Redd and Hart are in fact dead – Mal beheaded them herself – where is the new threat coming from?
For there is a new threat. The Dark Ones are turning Silence into a horror show. Every victim, animal, person, or unnamed, are left a rotted shell, covered in the black clutches of a painful death. But who holds the reins of the Dark Ones?
**This is a new four book series following the Chronicles of Blood. A new adult, reverse harem, dark romance novel with a ‘why choose’ ending, meaning the main character gets a happily ever after with more than one man. It contains magic, demons, shifters, nonsense, explicit sex scenes, blood, murder. There are references to past emotional abuse. This is a MMFMM book with a STRONG focus on the woman (although there is some MM and MMF in here, too).
My Review 5 STARS
Ah. The last book in the series and the majority of the book now is to restore Wonderland to its former glory, but better, but also to restore time. Then we get many epilogues from 1, 5, 10, 20 and 35 years after everything has happened and what has happened to the family dynamics within that time and the children that Mal has had with her husbands.
Snow White's defeat is a rather quick and without much fanfare, but there is a mother fight scene and emotional struggle, with new husbands, children and gripping story tales along with the brilliant songs/poetry.
The epilogues are from all other points of view, Rehm, Lanes children, Mal and others, we get memorials, the All Dead Band has been rebuilt and so has Schoolroom and Lessons and a cure from Madness.
Finding time and freezing him was also a little anticlimactic and the relationships between the husbands seemed to take more of the book than Mal's relationships with them even as they continued to travel as a group.
The last epilogue with Lane and his children going to the Fae cave does leave an open story line, so I am hoping that something happens in the future within Wonderland as they continue the task Lane has given them.
I have really enjoyed the whole Wonderland story through the two series and am really quite upset that they have had to finish, I would have loved for the series to continue.
Lets hope that while we next get Ira's story, a friend that Mal had in dead end, that we will also get stories for her brother and the other friend eventually.
