Unbirthday: A Twisted Tale

A Twisted Tale Series: Book 10

By: Liz Braswell

Narrated by: Lorna Bennett

What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late?

Alice is different than other 18-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her. She’d rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian’s lively salon, ignoring her sister’s wishes that she stop all that “nonsense” and become a “respectable” member of society. Alice is happy to meander to Miss. Yao’s teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She’s also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she’s curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming.

But when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects - the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. There’s something eerily off about them, even for Wonderland creatures. And as Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of all - a badly injured dark-haired girl asking for Alice’s help. Mary Ann.

Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts’ tyrannical rule and to find her place in both worlds. But will she able to do so...before the End of Time?

Just too modern

I’m only three chapters in and I’m already seeing problems with this story. I decided to try it since it got good reviews from people who are fans of Alice in wonderland. It definitely isn’t bad it just not as good as the reviews said. A lot of modern language and attitudes. Alice is pretty immature for an 18 year old at that time period, she is also very contradictory; for example she mentions being annoyed by her sisters lack of fashion sense multiple times but exalts her aunt for her the same thing? Maybe I’m just misunderstanding but it seemed really odd to me. I didn’t really like the character of the aunt she seemed very forced and was kind of obnoxious. Again I haven’t listened to much yet but seems like an interesting story that is slightly marred by some modern language and attitudes.

Huge Alice and Wonderland Fan here

I LOVED this booked so much and the voice of the reader was great for the setting of the book. I have dyslexia so Audible makes it easier for me to finish reading books. I still have physical books to ready along with. I have recommended twisted tales to lots of people.

Marvelous

LOVED THIS

So it was a little slow at times but the book as a whole was so wonderfully done. The narrator had a very pleasant voice and the story was clever and well written I am looking forward to listening to other books in this series. Highly recommend if you don’t mind a few slow parts they really aren’t bad I mostly just loved when she was in wonderland that when she wasn’t I would drift a bit but overall def worth the listen! I didn’t want it to end!
