War of the Cards
Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.
She has lost her kingdom. She has lost her heart. She is dangerously close to losing her sanity. Torn completely in half by love and hate, Dinah, the rightful Queen of Wonderland, the girl who will become the legendary Queen of Hearts, is going to war for all that she has lost. With the men in her armies fighting with one another, and her former love Wardley scraping and begging for her forgiveness, she can feel the evil darkness that seeps through her heart and she may no longer care about what that means. Every step towards the castle and the kingdom is a step closer to death and destruction like she's never dreamed of before. War and victory will come at a high cost, but if she reclaims her true title and can rule Wonderland with mercy, it might all be worth it . . . won't it? Readers who have been on board since Queen of Hearts (2016) will devour this series finale.--Comfort, Stacey Copyright 2018 Booklist

Dinah, the rage-filled heir to Wonderland's throne, marches to war to claim her right as queen. Secrets and surprises (betrayals! beheadings!) abound in this final installment (Queen of Hearts; Blood of Wonderland) in Oakes's reimagining of the heartbreaking life of Carroll's classic villain. By story's end, fury still burns inside the Queen of Hearts but alongside a glimmer of redemption. (c) Copyright 2019. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
