Welcome to Wonderland! Come through the looking glass and join the fun.
This tale of court intrigue serves as a backstory for some characters we know and love, and other characters we have not seen before (unless they exist in Carroll's original writings, I have only ever seen Alice in Wonderland movies). I enjoyed the story and once again am impressed by Meyer's reimagination of existing tales.
I only went 3 stars on this because it was a bit slow and repetitive at times. I think that feel was co ...more

Overall Rating : B

NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS HEARTACHE.
True love is the two bladed sword that, if you're not careful, will kill you both.
Catherine truly had a bad hand dealt to her, and Jest was perfect for her. 80% of this book gives you a false sense of happiness, where you think it's all going to end in a happily ever after. But everyone knows who the Queen of Hearts is, and why you should never trust the pages before the end.
I'm really glad I don't live in the Land of Hearts. ...more

*Potential spoilers ahead*
I might be one of the very few people who have never read nor watched Alice in Wonderland. I vaguely remember watching a movie starring Johnny Depp but that's as far as it went.
Thus it was with the deepest shocks and a most disturbed heart that I realised how Heartless ends very, very horribly . It broke my heart, and I don't know what to do with myself now.
I LOVED Jest and Catherine together. Perhaps each on his/her own wouldn't have been as endearing or fascinati ...more

I am officially in love with this story. An amazing story. I did not want it to end -- in fact for one day I couldn't continue reading.
I am also in love with Jest. (Who in my mind had the same features of Ezra Miller!) ...more

I really enjoyed this book. This was the first book that I finished by Marissa Meyer. I'm glad that I picked it up. The setting and different characters kept me interested from beginning to end.

It's actually a 3.5, so I marked it 4.
What annoys me the most is that Cath is really spineless sometimes. maybe if she had listened to her heart (view spoiler) more, much could have been avoided.
Considering this is a retelling of a "villain" I was not expecting a happy ending and to be honest I was afraid of getting bored since I kinda knew the outcome. Nevertheless, I was fairly amused by the plot and felt like it did justice to the w ...more
