Once again, no spoilers, but I think it’s okay for me to say that the majority of the book takes place far from reality, and that was a welcome distance. One of my favorite things about this book was how much time I got to spend in Wonderland and the Looking Glass World. Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no spoilers, but I, at least, was very happy with the way Howard chose to conclude this particular conflict. I was just as torn between them as she was, and there was never a moment of certainty about which guy (and which world) she’d end up choosing. I spent the entire trilogy trying to figure out which guy to root for, which one might be best for Alyssa. Howard, however, likes to keep readers on their toes. There’s usually one guy the main character primarily prefers (think Bella and Edward: did anyone really ever think she’d ever leave Edward for Jacob?). It’s the question on everyone’s minds: will Alyssa choose Jeb or Morpheus? Which will win her heart, Wonderland or reality? Most love triangles are easy to figure out.
Howard knows how to write a killer love triangle, and this holds true throughout the trilogy. I wrote in my review of Splinteredthat A.G. Howard has delivered a fantastic and un-put-downable conclusion to her wonderful trilogy, and it’s even better than I hoped! I dived right into the story as soon as I could (which was, unfortunately, nearly a month after I received the book because school and finals came along to ruin my happiness), and I say with conviction that the wait was worthwhile. My arc of Ensnaredarrived in the mail, and I was beside myself with excitement. I have been dying to read this for over a year, ever since I sailed through the ending of Unhingedonly to be left clinging to the side of a cliff for a year as I waited (and waited…and waited!) to hear news of the finale of the Splintered series.Īnd then finally it came.
