My only request is that Showalter bring back the Alice in Wonderland metaphors. Frankly, I still want more of the White Rabbit Chronicles. Gena Showalter has that particular ability, and no matter what critique I offer as far as the few editing mistakes I saw (especially near the end) and how the plot diverged from what I had expected, she still put a fantastic story on paper that made me turn the pages. Some authors (and I wholly admire them) have the ability to write in a crude way, their voices raw and unique, delivering an entertaining read to audiences. That being said, I still enjoyed Through the Zombie Glass, even though the sequel lacked the same impact that Alice in Zombieland made. What’s more is that Gena Showalter played a dangerous game by walking the line between what’s considered young adult and smut… Yes, we get to see Ali, Cole, Emma and all the other characters (as well as a few new ones), but there was a lack of magic in this one that was caused by nothing more than teenage hormones. But where the first book in the White Rabbit Chronicles were filled with metaphorical elements reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, Through the Zombie Glass was riddled with sexed up messages, completely forgetting about the fact that there’s supposed to be more “Wonderland-esque-ness” to this paranormal book. I have been looking forward to this book for a year, especially seeing as Gena Showalter was so wonderfully original with her zombies as well as with her portrayal of Alice, the Mad-Hatter, and all the other characters we loved from Lewis Carroll‘s original Alice in Wonderland. Can't wait to see how the story continues to progress. Kat is the only one to stick by her side, and the only reason Reeve doesn't is that she doesn't know what's going on because her dad is kind of a moron who makes dumb decisions. I can't tell to much do to spoilers, but when things get tough. I'm annoyed with all of Ali's friends except Kat and Reeve. There was lots of action as usual, and Ali is still majorly badass. I like the added bit of a love triangle in there. The relationships between all the characters felt more in-depth this time. I fell in love with this series in the first book.
~Focus on family and friend relationships as well as the romantic Ali is dealing with jealousy over the other slayer Veronica, who it turns out, is also Cole's ex-girlfriend. And some of these visions are pretty steamy. If that isn't bad enough, Cole is having a relationship crisis that starts because Ali starts having visions with Gavin, one out of two of the new slayers. Thank you.Īli gets bit by Justin after he is bit by a zombie and now she has zombie-like urges that the antidote won't cure, and it's getting worse. If you feel something in my review is a spoiler please let me know. Unfortunately, there is still always a risk of slight spoilers despite my best efforts. I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler-free way.
