on Dec. 19, 2011 :
Deborah Lightfoot has taken sword and sorcery books to a new level! Besides creating an engrossing fantasy world with a connection to Alice, and "Through the Looking Glass", Lightfoot has peppered her story with intelligent dialog and description. I can't wait to read the final two books of the trilogy.-David Davis author of "Travels With Grandpaw"
