Queen of Hearts Summary       I really wanted to love this book . I'm a huge fan of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, as well as the movies and I've been branching out to retellings. Sadly though, I couldn't find the energy to see Queen of Hearts to the end, as it failed the 100 pages challenge (If you are not enjoying a book by the first 100 pages, then it probably isn't the book for you). There were a few things I would like to discuss about this book. We follow the main character Dinah, the Duchess of Wonderland, as a teenage girl. I didn't overly like Dinah, even though her personality was difficult to distinguish. She has a lot of jealousy and limited knowledge to her.   Her father is the King of Wonderland which was something that made my face look like I ate something sour. It was definitely a change having a (mean) male character in control of Wonderland, but one of my favourite aspects of Wonderland is that only women can rule. I grew...
