Arch Enemy (Looking Glass Wars #3)

Arch Enemy is the final book in Frank Beddor's Looking Glass Wars trilogy - the truth about the story behind Alice in Wonderland.

Alyss Heart is the queen of Wonderland. But due to an attack by Arch - king of the Boarderlands - she is without imagination. Without imagination she is more susceptible to further attack.

The Club family is plotting openly against imagination - stating that life is better without it. Their soldiers are beginning to round up those who disagree and hold them in camps. King Arch and Alyss's aunt Redd are plotting to take over Wonderland. And Alyss's heads of security, Homburg Molly and Hatter Madigan, are secluded in the wilderness in morning.

In spite of her lack of imagination, Alyss must do what she can to help the people of Wonderland. And this third book will decide once and for all who controls the Heart Crystal - the source of imagination.

Athough Beddor's second and third book are entertaining, the first book (The Looking Glass Wars) is brilliant. Even if you choose not to continue with the story, read the first book. All fans of Alice in Wonderland will be amazed at his attention to detail as he describes the true story of Alyss's life.
