Review: I missed my normal Dulcie
Rating: 4 out of 5

I'm torn between 3.5 stars and 4 stars.  What pushes me to 3.5 stars is that Dulcie would go on these long tangents in her head about this situation or that situation and whenever Knight wanted to talk she would push it away saying she hadn't had time to sort out her thoughts yet.  Ugh!  Shut up Dulcie!  We all wanted Knight to pay for how he treated you in Wuthering Frights, but make up your mind already!  And at time I found Dulcie to be... (Gasp) annoying.  She was always tired, she was grumpy and not the normal Dulcie.  Let her have a nap!  What pushes me towards the 4 stars was that it was still very well written.  I loved the scenes between Dulcie and Bram and Dulcie and Knight.  So you can see my conundrum.  Who's ever heard of a 3.75 star? No one!This book picks right up where Wuthering Frights left off.  Knight just learns that Dulcie wasn't willingly working for her father and actually help set up a sting on the latest and greatest potions smuggling.  He is apologetic, he is remorseful, and he wants Dulcie back!  Dulcie gets a crash course in how the resistance works.  Then not much else happens (besides Dulcie's scenes of thinking in her head) until...something big happens and Dulcie must be moved for her own safety.  Bram is forced out of his fence straddling position (Is he good?  Is he bad?) and must make his decision and we finally learn why he was so well known in the prison in the Netherworld.The ending was a bit of a cliff hanger.  We got some answers to some things, but are left hanging...again.What was the dream about?  We never learned more about that!  I need to know...Also only 85% of the content on the kindle version is Malice in Wonderland.  The other 15% is the short story released in "Kiss Me, Kill Me" (which I had already read) and some excerpts from Jolie's book.I did have to get on Facebook to check out the pages for Dulcie, Bram and Knight while reading this to keep their images in my head.  For some reason Bram never looks as good in my head as he is intended to so I have to refresh myself.
