"Splintered" di A.G.Howard
Cover:
Trama:
This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land, as well as a girl’s pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother’s mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice’s tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice’s mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.
Recensione:
L’ho letto tanto tempo fa, ma qualcosina me lo ricordo ancora.

Recensione:

Cioè che non mi piace.
E me ne vergogno,perché ormai è un must,perché
me l’hanno consigliato delle amiche ai cui gusti letterari affiderei la mia
vita, perché la cover è bellissima e la trama anche e perché mi ero fatta così
tante aspettative…
Tradite. Distrutte.Calpestate.
Non mi è piaciuto.
I personaggi poi…
Né Alyssa, nè i suoi, né Jeb.
L’unico che mi è piaciuto un briciolo
microscopico più piccolo di un protone è Morpheus. Che comunque ho detestato
per la sua eccessiva aria di mistero e perché se la tira tanto, ma proprio
tanto.
Non demordete però, perché ho apprezzato l’estratto
di Unhinged che ero riuscita a farmi accettare su Netgalley.
