In Umberland, the references to Alice in Wonderland were still there, but less so as the book went on. All of the characters from the original story were there in one way or another, and some of the same story beats were hit. In Everland, I really enjoyed the way the Peter Pan story was woven into the story, and twisted to fit the science fiction/dystopian setting, even though I didn't love the book. Unfortunately, my instincts were right, and I did not enjoy this at all. So I'll be honest I went into this fully expecting not to like it, but somewhat hoping that it would redeem the series and make it worth my while. I just didn't get the opportunity to do so until this April! But I was still intrigued enough, especially by the retelling aspects, to want to finish the series. At that time, I thought Everland was okay, and I liked Umberland even less. I read Everland and Umberland, the first two books in this series, last spring.
