Seeing Redd The Looking Glass Wars Book Two Frank Beddor Books

Frank Beddor returns to the world of Wonderland he so brilliantly created in his first novel, THE LOOKING GLASS WARS, picking up the story where he left off: the rebuilding of Wonderland following the deliciously evil Redd's fall from power, and Alyss Heart's return to her kingdom.

In exile, Redd plots with neighboring King Arch (a terrifically hateful character who inscribes misogynistic slogans in huge letters on every mountainside so that his subjects can fully appreciate just where Arch thinks women belong in his society) to regain power, and recover the heart crystal - the source of all imagination.

Meanwhile, Alyss and her beloved palace guard, Dodge Anders, are busy rebuilding Wonderland to its former glory, and trying to come to grips with their deepening romantic feelings for each other. Dodge is convinced that Redd and her nefarious assassin, The Cat, are still out there, and he's determined to avenge his father's death once and for all.

Alyss' new bodyguard (the illustrious Hatter Madigan, a blade wielding Ninja-like warrior, member of the elite Millinery corps disappeared at the end of book one)is Homburg Molly, a Millinery trained warrior with formidable skills, and some serious insecurities. When the suit families (Diamonds, Spades, and Clubs) are enlisted by King Arch to undermine Alyss, and help bring Redd back to power, Homburg Molly falls prey to a clever ruse, and is captured. Things are looking black, indeed, for Alyss and the forces of White Imagination...until Hatter Madigan makes a startling and welcome return, and goes on a quest to rescue Molly.

With the formidable forces of evil marshalling against her, Alyss must decipher the prophecy of the Blue Caterpillar to save her kingdom before Redd finds her own heart maze, and seizes power once more.

The stakes in Frank Beddor's Looking Glass War novels couldn't be higher -the very existence of a world that is the source of all imagination - and he pulls no punches in this harrowing sequel, SEEING REDD. Redd is one of the most vicious villains in literature (she is respectfully referred to as "Her Imperial Viciousness"), and her ruthless cruelty and disdain for all things even remotely good makes for some heart-stopping encounters - particularly for the denizens of our world when she falls through the Pool of Tears and takes over London's Crystal Palace wearing a dress twined with live, carnivorous roses.

Don't let the references to "Alice in Wonderland" fool you - Beddor's Wonderland is more the world of Gregory Maguire's "Wicked", than Lewis Carroll's Victorian dreamscape. Dark, delicious, harrowing, and deeply felt, SEEING REDD is a stellar second installment in what promises to be a masterful series. Bravo, Frank Beddor, and keep 'em coming!

Seeing Redd The Looking Glass Wars Book Two Frank Beddor Books Reviews

This one is even more epic than the first one. Can’t wait for the next one!
I highly enjoyed book one and I had high expectations for this one, but I was so disappointed. It was slow and I had a really hard time getting through it, but liked the concept from the first one so much that I slugged through this one to see how it ended. I would only recommend this to someone who had a lot of patience and was the type of person desperately needs to finish a trilogy.
This is the second book in the series. The first book was amazing but, like with a lot of sequels, this has left a little to be desired. There are some good twists and turns, and if you have read the first book and are committed to the characters, then you should read it, just know that there will be parts where your interest may dwindle
The situation for Alyss has gotten much worse. First, King Arch has decided that he wants to be king of all Wonderland and so he goes on the attack with his forces. Redd, meanwhile, has been recruiting all sorts of nasty people on Earth and has developed her own army. She manages to unify some warring tribes in Wonderland and she, too, has decided to wage war.

Hatter is looking for his daughter and finds his wife.

All sorts of horrible creatures are called into use and the war rages on. A good second book in the trilogy.
After reading Looking Glass Wars, I was really looking forward to this book. I was hoping this book would fill in the blanks that the first left. I was hoping it would develop Wonderland and the characters better.

To my disappointment, it did none of those things. There were too many fighting scenes and the story flew by way too fast. That's a real bummer because I still like the concept very much. I WANT to like this series. However, my hopes are now with the third book.

I wanted to learn more about my favorite characters Alyss, Redd, and Hatter (I realize Hatter now has a graphic novel series going on, but I still think we could have learned more about him in this one).

I would recommend this book to older kids, but definitely not to grown ups (unless they plan on reading it with their kids as I did). There isn't enough background or character depth that the older audience usually demands.
The second book in Beddor's Looking Glass Wars trilogy picks up fairly closely to the end of the first book. 3 lunar cycles (I'm guessing this means months) later and Queen Alyss is doing her best to reassure the people that White Imagination is once again dominate.

There is a little bit of a mislead throughout the book as well, in who's actually the source of evil and motives. King Arch, briefly mentioned and shown in the first book, is a central character this time around (with all his sexist views) and Jack of Diamonds, unfortunately, makes a return appearance. His parents aren't the brightest ever. Redd is more cunning then in the first book, using subterfuge as a way to win out. I admired her, despite her evilness, because she didn't just whine about what she lost (like Jack) or spout impossible ideas (like Arch), but had a solid plan which would have worked.

Hatter Madigan, this poor guy, is put through the ringer. He did take his leave, as he said he would at the end of Book 1, and didn't plan on coming back. We learn more about the civilian he loved, Weaver and what secrets she carried. Which all relates back to Molly (I'm sure you can guess how) and has a surprising turn of events. Doesn't last long however. Molly is also put through the ringer--unsure of herself, prideful of her abilities but shamed by her birth, young and basically self-trained, Arch takes advantage of that weakness.

In the end I enjoyed this book moreso then the first. I enjoyed learning more about the other lands surrounding Wonderland (even if Borderland is...what it is) and despite the ending leaving itself very open to a sequel, I can't be too upset over that. The conflicts of THIS book were resolved and the ending opened the door to a new conflict.
