Description
Age range 14 to 18
A fresh take on an old classic, A Blade So Black is Alice in Wonderland as urban fantasy with a black teen heroine.
The first time the Nightmares came, it nearly cost Alice her life. Now she's trained to battle monstrous creatures in the dark dream realm known as Wonderland with magic weapons and hardcore fighting skills.
Yet life in real-world Atlanta isn't always so simple; even warriors have a curfew. But when Alice's handsome and mysterious mentor is poisoned, she has to find the antidote by venturing deeper into Wonderland than she's ever gone before.

A Blade So Black by L. L. McKinney is praised for its inventive retelling of the Alice in Wonderland tale, set in contemporary Atlanta and infused with a fresh, diverse perspective. The protagonist, Alice, is lauded for her relatability and strength, serving as a compelling heroine dealing with both everyday life and magical challenges. While some reviews note a somewhat fast-paced plot that can be complex, the combination of fantasy, humour, and social commentary on issues like race and identity has been well-received by readers.
