Queen Lily, by Theodora Goss
Queen Lily crept onto the Locus Award list, probably because Theodora Goss has written some other good things. I just couldn't get into this one at all. The point of view changes without warning or sense, and is just confusing. The setting is Alice In Wonderland, which has had a lot of rework over the years so if one is going to go back there one has to have something really new to say. About all there is here is that Lewis Carroll was a pedophile--we knew that already. I have to rate this one down.
