More like heartbroken because I was a mess by the end of this book. 😭 This is an Alice in Wonderland prequel that focuses on the Queen of Hearts and how she became the ruthless queen we see in Alice in Wonderland. I was expecting things to not go well for the queen, but damn was I not prepared! Especially because of how much I ended up loving Cath, the future Queen of Hearts! She was so precious and sweet and all she wanted to do was be the Tarte Baker of the kingdom. She didn’t want to be Queen at all! But she was destined to be the Queen of Hearts, and I knew that something terrible needed to happen to make her the way she is in Alice in Wonderland. But onto more pleasant things: the romance. The romance was SO freaking cute! There was flirty banter between Cath and Jest right from the start and I loved it! Their interactions were just so cute! And I loved Jest! He was just so fun and thoughtful! --- "...Cath was standing on the surf, staring out into the sea, and realizing with sudden certainty that she was losing her heart to this fool." --- I also really loved the world! I think Wonderland is just such an interesting, wacky, and fun world, and I enjoyed exploring Marissa Meyer’s take on it. Marissa Meyer just writes the best retellings! And the story she wove for the Queen of Hearts in this book was amazing! Heartbreaking, yes, but also very fun. The characters were wacky and interesting, the tea party was chaotic and fun (I expected nothing less lol), and the thing with the attacking Jabberwock was very intriguing! There was a plot twist there that was very surprising! I liked it! Even though this book made me bawl my eyes out, I loved it! It was such a fun read with great characters, and I enjoyed following Cath on her journey as she navigated her predetermined destiny of becoming the Queen of Hearts. I highly recommend it! Review: Great Spin on a Classic - I recovered surprisingly fast (less than 24 hours, y'all). Okay, so on to the review that you all have been waiting for (or maybe not, considering it has been only 24 hours, but still). I do not like ever read villain stories. Why? Because I simply never had the mind to, for no reason at all except that I just don't get many villain stories on my TBR. And who knew if I'd ever get my hands on Heartless in particular? I'm not a huge fan of Marissa Meyer (and no, I didn't read Fairest and am not sure if I will ever get the chance) but TLC was pretty cool. The villain aspect of the story staved off my attention from it for a while, but alas, the pull of Wonderland was too much for me. In case you haven't figured, I. Love. Wonderland. I'm not even going to go full-out and describe everything I love about Carroll's wacky nonsensically magical and totally upside-down world. I was originally disappointed to learn that this story would have little to no mention of Alice herself, since... obviously... I like Alice more than the Queen of Hearts... BUT anyway. I still love the Wonderlandians themselves. So when I had the chance to read the first few chapters of this book a while back, I thought it would be okay if I gave it a try. My friends certainly recommended it. And hey. It's set in Wonderland. I'm so glad to say Meyer did not disappoint with her portrayal of the world beyond the rabbit hole (and through the looking-glass! never forget the looking-glass). She did a wonderful job painting out the wondrous wonders of Wonderland, staying true to Carroll's world in most parts, but taking liberty where you can. Although I do wish there was a teensy-bit-more to show of the wonderiferous. It could have been less Victorian-era, if you ask me. The uptight ways of the nobility kind of clashed with the carefree atmosphere that you often imagine when picturing Carroll's original Wonderland and... I'm not a fan. (Also, the whole Chess/Looking-Glass thing was wayyyy more complicated than I needed it to be, but that's probably just me. At least the Looking-Glass was mentioned, right?) The characters... Very nice. I liked Jest, at least. I was hoping he'd be a little more... *waves hand around* original? I thought he was cute. But I didn't exactly ship him with Cath. *shrugs* I liked Meyer's spin on the original Wonderlandians-- Hatta, the King of Hearts, and the White Rabbit were all well-done. Especially Hatta. Especially Cheshire. (If you know that I adore Wonderland, then you must know that the Cheshire Cat is my favorite Wonderlandian. I don't even know why. There's just something undeniably hilariously awesome about a cat who disappears with a grin.) Raven was a definite plus in this one. He was pretty awesome. I'm not a fan of Poe, but "Nevermore" has got to be one of the most confusing, bewildering, amusing poems of all time and I loved that the raven got to fly in to Wonderland. Also, there's plenty of meaning in that infamous fantastical riddlish line "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Now to Cath. Hmm. I liked Cath well enough. She was a likable, sympathetic protagonist, and I think that was Meyer's goal here. Her character arc was very well done, in my opinion. There were little foreshadowing hints about her future as the dread Queen of Hearts scattered all throughout the story, and they just grow increasingly obvious to the end, when she... well... overreacted a bit. And that's the end of that. Haha. Or rather, just the beginning, if you're looking from Alice's perspective. Well, considering Alice never appeared in this novel. Anyway. The food descriptions of course were amazing and awful and torturous and delightful. I hate/love it when authors include rich food descriptions in their books because of how good it looks and how impossible it is to have it right then and there. But I guess you can empathize with that. The story itself was pretty darn good. I liked it and might reread it. I didn't get immersed into the romance (so maybe that's why I felt sad for Jest more than for Cath at the end if you know what I mean), but the characters were real, the story was real, and the ending was real. Some people are just dramatic like that. Now perhaps it's about time I go back and reread Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel... ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00XHJM7R0 | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,236 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #3 in Teen & Young Adult Fairy Tales & Folklore Adaptations eBooks #9 in Teen & Young Adult Fantasy Romance #25 in Teen & Young Adult Paranormal Romance eBooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (10,029) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 2.7 MB | | Grade level | 7 - 12 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1250080271 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 464 pages | | Publication date | November 8, 2016 | | Publisher | Feiwel & Friends | | Reading age | 12 - 18 years | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![Heartless - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817zAtfwncL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heartbreakingly good *by L***K on July 27, 2023* Heartless?
