Description

Long before she was the terror of Wonderland—the infamous Queen of Hearts—she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love.
Long before she was the terror of Wonderland, she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen.
Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
In her first stand-alone teen novel, the New York Times-bestselling author dazzles us with a prequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Oh dear...

Definitely a good read, especially if you liked the lunar chronicles. Do be warned, however, if you get too attached you might end up heart broken. Overall, the story was captivating and a great read, so I do recommend it! Just, have a pack of tissues on hand

I loved this book so much❤️

I knew it was going to have a sad ending, but the book was still amazing. It was a great origin story for the Queen of Hearts and I loved it.

Very disappointed

Loved the retelling of Alice in Wonderland. The characters were interesting and engaging. I could feel the mood of the story spiraling down and was hoping she would write in a twist to bring the story back into the light. No such luck.

Underwhelmed

It took reading about half of the book before it grabbed me. It was predictable in some parts, I was expecting the entire story to be darker especially after reading Fairest. There were some twists I enjoyed towards the end but overall I was a disappointed. The lunar chronicles were so enjoyable and full of excitement that this just didn't meet that standard for me. She's a villain so it's assumed there's not going to be a happy ending. The author delivered on that assumption but it still wasn't as strong as her other pieces of writing.

a good tale

It took a while for this book to get going, but once it did, it really went there. I liked the ending. I really bought the character's torment and heart break.

My heart is in pieces

Please tell me I’m not foolish to still have hope of a happier (and not too impossible) ending? My heart is literally in pain after the final few chapters...

Loved this book at first but.....

A wonderful book at first, and a wonderful love story at the beginning. I could not put it down. This turned into something unlike the others from the lunar chronicles.....a nightmare and a depressing story. Horribly disappointing and NOT what I was expecting. Only reason it's getting two stars is because of my love for Cath and Jest, if not it I would have only given this one. RIP to what could have been.

Definitely Heartless

A beautiful book it seemed. And then it transformed into a nightmare. No happily ever after here. If you love misery, you will love this book.

Just read it if you don't you will regret it

This book is unfathomably beautiful in every sense. I don't even know where to begin to say what a wonderful and astounding job Marissa Meyer has done and how well she gave this world and characters a life. This book, Heartless, will never leave your mind or heart while your soul will forever be shattered and ridden with the bullets made of ink and paper. It will become a classic that will be incomparable to any other author. I promise this. So if you don't buy it and read it now, mark my words, when there is a great Broadway show based on this you will wish you read the books as people talk to you about it.
Marissa Meyer has a talent for creating the best kind of characters. This talent shone through very brightly in her past books of The Lunar Chronicles. Heartless has just as many unique and quotable characters that are funny, rude, wise, kind, good hearted, lovable, and mad. Her particular talent for piecing these personalities into the story will blind you worse than Carswell Thorne. In an amazing way.
I feel as if it wouldn't be a proper review if I didn't get to fangirl over Jest. Bah. Forget punctuation and grammar and AAAAAHHHHHHHH OMG AAH JJJEESSSSSTTT. AAHHHHH WHAT WOULD THEIR SHIP NANE BE AHHHH OTP OTP ALEART JEST IS SO PRFCT OTP OTP I SHIP CATH AND JEST SO HARD YOU CANNOT IMAGINE AAAAHHHHH WOULD IT BE CATHEST NO THAT SOUNDS BAD HOW ANOUT JESTATH NONONONO JESTRINE NONONO NOTHING SOUNDS GOOD THE FANDOM WILL MAKE SOMTHING UP THO SO ITS ALL OKAY BUT JUST AAAAHAHAHH JEST I LITERALLY CANNOT EVEN.
So while this book will take your soul and pretend everything's okay and you trust the book to care and feed it yummy satisfying osmosis then when your soul is all safe and warm and bundled in the pages then the book will crush it until powder is the only thing left then it will eat it and blow itself up until it will be impossible to clean up again *sob sob sob.* I have read many, many, many heartbreaking books that have been soaked in my tears, but this book left me in a puddle of salty water with chunks of my own heart floating out of reach. For days. Let me repeat. For days. I could hardly stand without seeing everybody in the book's life flash before my eyes. I have still not quite recovered.
So what I'm trying to say is that I hope y'all enjoy it!
