This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Random Magic is a fantasy book about the search for Alice in Wonderland, who has gone missing.
It is extremely whimsical and random, and full of allusions and references to…well, everything, really. And the kitchen sink. For me, this sometimes worked, but a lot of the time, especially in the first third of the book, I just felt that the author tried a bit too hard to cram in every single idea ever had by anyone.
In my opinion, there’s a good book in here waiting to get out. A good editor could probably work wonders here.
All in all, if you like really crazy antics and whimsy, you will probably enjoy it. If you don’t, you won’t.
Rating: 2.5/5
