I really like this aspect as Allison harbours a lot of guilt for not returning to Wonderland especially because it changed Morpheus so much, but on the train ride she learns in abandoning her quest to become Queen allowed Morpheus to love, freed Thomas and allowed Alyssa to be born and live the wonderful life she now has. Thomas does this to show Allison without her rescuing him from the web all those years ago all their happy memories would not exist their marriage, their daughter it was all made possible because of her. For their anniversary Thomas and Allison go on a ride on the train of lost memories. We learn out how Morpheus coaxed her into using her powers for chaos including the death of Wally and as a consequence she loses the one home she could have been happy and wouldn’t find another one until she entered Wonderland.Īllison strikes a bargain with Morpheus to be trained to retake the Red Throne to rule Wonderland and find the “family” she would never have in the human realm.

Allison has changed much from a child she is still strange and wilful but she now sees the consequences of her actions on those around her. She talks remembers the first time she met Morpheus as she is planning to jump out a window to escape a pervert living in her new foster mom’s apartment building when he appears to help her have some “fun” will Wally. Allison talks in depth about her formative years including her mothers’ death and how see bounced around foster homes. She also see her daughter will make an amazing Queen and that Morpheus will guide her through the grief of losing her loved ones after she returns to Wonderland once her heart has healed. Even though she still hasn’t forgiven Morpheus for tricking Alyssa she understands it was never out of spite, it was because he has loved her for a long time and couldn’t be without her. I particularly enjoyed her comparisons between herself and Alyssa and how after 20 year she realises she was never meant to be Queen of the Nether realm and how even if she did become Queen she wouldn’t have been able to cope with being without Thomas for eternity. The first story The Boy in the Web is Allison recounting her own time in Wonderland. I wasn’t as hyped for this book as the others in the series because even though I had questions about what happened after Ensnared I felt the series ended on a great note and possibly did warrant another book but none the less I was excited to have most of my questions answered. This was a novel I really wanted to read as the ending of Ensnared left me with a few questions I wanted answered primarily regarding what happened to Alyssa afterwards. There are 3 main stories which are basically about Alyssa’s life after Ensnared, Allison’s own journey in Wonderland and Jeb’s lost memories from his first visit to Wonderland. Review: Untamed is a companion novel to the Splintered series set after the events of the last novel.
