War of the Cards | Colleen Oakes
post image

When she looked at her daughter‘s face, Dinah could feel the love for her child snaking its way around the black fury inside her. The fury would always remain, alive and hungry. But for her daughter‘s sake, Dinah prayed that this time, love would be enough to quench the flame.

What a conclusion! As far as originally retellings go, this is honestly one of the best I've read. Book one was setting up the world and characterizations, book two provided so many revelations that book three had to pick them up, go into detail, and what a show Oakes gave!

So much went into all the books & what made her into the Queen of Hearts because this is not a happily ever after tale, but the beginning of her reign.

Dinah chased a white rabbit, just beyond her reach. It turned and veered under rosebushes and vertically stacked tables piled with teacups. She turned a corner. It was gone.

Really enjoyed this series and narrator! These are books 2 & 3. The first is Queen of Hearts. An interesting and fab take on the queen of hearts from Alice In Wonderland. 🤗

This was an amazing read. Just when you think it‘s over, there‘s more to come in the story. It‘s full of so many surprises. It‘s the perfect ending for the series. I would definitely read the series again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I read this entire book last night and finished the trilogy. Three stars for this book and I recommend the trilogy. These books read really quickly. Took me about 3 hours to read this one.

The final book in this trilogy was satisfying. It had a heartbreaking scene but it felt very much a necessary part of the story, revealing the fury that snakes through the queen‘s personality throughout the books. I admire the author‘s commitment to developing her characters in this YA series, when they could have been written more simply. Recommended even for adults.

I started this 3rd book in the trilogy about 1:30 this morning and I‘ve already read 75 pages. This trilogy is so darned good. I never would‘ve thought I‘d like it. It‘s the origin story of Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. I‘ve never wanted to read Alice, and still don‘t. But I‘ve sure been sucked into this one. All because I needed a #letterQ book for #litsyatoz and my daughter loaned me book 1. Just sayin‘, Oakes is a terrific writer.

Cathythoughts Isn‘t it brilliant when something like this happens 👍🏻😃 5y
Texreader @Cathythoughts Yes!! To love a book outside my genre, which I started grudgingly—it‘s crazy! The magic of books is real! 5y

I have never known a series to get better by the end normally the first one is fantastic and then by the 3rd they are crap but this was fantastic (received from #NetGalley for an honest review)

From the start the pedal was down and it was just go go go all the way through, I couldn‘t put it down

I'm beginning to wonder if there are a few too many Retellings of Wonderland. There has been quite a few lately. #coverlove #YAedition

GondorGirl I'm starting to get a little burnt out on retellings. There are some great ones out there, but now EVERYONE is doing them. 7y
LibrarianRyan @GondorGirl I agree. Or at least, if your going to do a retelling, pick an obscure one. I can name at least 6-7 Alice retelling without thinking hard. 7y
GondorGirl @LibrarianRyan Exactly! But for me, Mercedes Lackey started doing a series of retellings 10+ years ago, so this new fad keeps reminding me of my high school reading list. 😂 7y
