The Curious Voyage: A Retelling of Alice in Wonderland and The Odyssey (The Fairmyth Chronicles Book 5) by Abigail Manning

Alice in Wonderland meets The Odyssey Alyssius’s wedding day was meant to be blissful, peaceful, and not interrupted by a panicked divine one who desperately needed her help. Being an accomplished doctor occasionally meant making house calls, even those that include jumping into a hole that sends her to the Kingdom of Underworth. The job is quick, but the journey home is long. Alyse has no trouble sailing her own vessel after growing up on a quiet island, but she quickly learns that it isn’t the sea that is complicating her journey. Percival knew what he was getting into when he married the island doctor, but he had also hoped it would keep all of the swooning island girls away from his modest palace. Being the king of Ithar doesn’t come with much power, but that doesn’t dissuade all the young ladies from offering him company in his new wife’s absence. He’s already chosen the queen of his heart, but fending off the debutantes might require a club. Curious islands appear before Alyse in spades, pulling her boat in, trapping her, tricking her, and often nearly claiming her life. Getting killed isn’t an option while Percival awaits her, but even time begins to stand in her way as the clock suddenly turns her back to the start of her journey. Then turns back again, and again, again… Such a wonder would surely drive any voyager mad. How long had she been at sea again? Will this curious voyage ever lead her home?
