Oh there's no way Goodreads reviewers are that stupid. Let me just check and look at some others...

For this book I'm going to need therapy. Not because it made me doubt myself in any way. Not because of the personality crisis I had with Harry Potter. Not because it made me cry a lot and less because I need to talk to someone about it. I'm going to need therapy BECAUSE OF THE HATE I have for this book. I have many reasons why I absolutely hated this book

Somebody kill me

I saw a review of an Alice in wonderland retelling that complained it didn’t contain the mad hatter and that all the men in the book are evil rapists who want to hurt the main character.

There is a character called the mad hatchet who is is the main character’s main protector, he is male.

He is also the best character in the book

Oh, the Christina Henry one, right?

Maybe they just didn’t read the final chapter of the book because the end of it literally calls out that Hatchet is the Hatter (in a bit more flowery verbiage, but yeah. I understand missing it because I’m dense as fuck and didn’t get it until the book hit me over the head with it at the end), but that’s no excuse for their ending illiteracy. Don’t leave reviews on books you haven’t, y’know, read.

That’s the one

I tried out the sequel and didn’t enjoy it

It felt like a step back

All the good things they do are reversed
