Morpheus takes them to Jeb, who has gone a little bit crazy because he's been infused with magic from both Queen Red (who is off inhabiting the body of Queen Hart, another insane relative of Alyssa's from years past) and Morpheus. It was just a bit too much of a convenient inclusion. This automatically put me on guard, because if you're going to a creepy, huge ass area, it's unlikely that you'll find the person you're looking for within a few hours, let alone a few minutes. The second they teleport into AnyElsewhere, they find Morpheus. By reclaiming her dad's memories, he's able to help her figure out another way into Wonderland: it turns out that he used to be a portal guard, so by tracking down his long lost family they're able to start their rescue mission. At the end of 'Unhinged', the portal into Wonderland had been destroyed, and Alyssa's mother was stuck on the other side, and her two love interests - Jeb and Morpheus - had been taken with Queen Red to AnyElsewhere, a twisted land that occupies the space between the mortal realm and Wonderland.
'Ensnared' begins in London, with Alyssa and her father having flown on monarch butterflies from America to reclaim her father's lost memories. I didn't love the first book, but I fell head over heels with the second, so I was a teensy bit apprehensive going in. I said I was going to finish more series in 2016, so the logical place for me to start was with this final installment of the 'Splintered' trilogy. This review will contain spoilers for the first two books in the 'Splintered' trilogy! If you'd like to read my review of the first book, you can find that here, or if you're interested in my thoughts on the second book in the trilogy, 'Unhinged', that's over here. *This review will contain spoilers!* 'When Jeb's at my side, the world is a canvas - unblemished and welcoming when I'm with Morpheus, it's a wanton playground - wicked and addictive.'
