What if your favourite places from books, paintings and other works of art were real?

I’m over at Mary Robinette Kowal’s site talking about My Favourite Bit of The Wonder Lands War, which features the immortal rogue Cross trying to find the Wonder Lands — the faerie realm that inspired the Alice in Wonderland tales — so he can save Alice from a rogue group of angels.

“The Wonder Lands War is a descent into a literary rabbit hole, where I try to capture the spirit of the original Wonderland books and meld it with the Cross universe. While Cross’s quest takes him to many fascinating places — magical libraries with supernatural librarians, a Venetian island of murderous and undying priests, a secret tomb for an angel within the Vatican — my favourite place in the book is the Wonder Lands, which are more dangerous than their literary counterpart.”
