Because there are so many whimsical twists and turns, you are constantly questioning everything. You see, Heartless is a perfect example of a story that keeps you guessing. Could I trust him? Or did he have ulterior evil motives? That made it difficult for me to fully warm up to him. So much so that I wasn’t sure what to think of him at first. But Cath doesn’t give in and keeps on dreaming. But I still recognised so many elements and references, which is something I love in books! Keeps you guessingĬath, our protagonist, is a great character! She doesn’t fit in in this society where women are mainly supposed to get married, and can’t pursue their own dreams, especially not when they’re nobility. I have to admit I’m not familiar with Lewis Carroll’s original work, I mainly know Wonderland through the animated Disney movie. It’s a prequel to Alice in Wonderland, and like you might expect, there was something surprising and/or whimsical behind every corner and I genuinely did not know what to expect. I love Marissa Meyer’s take on iconic fairy tales! I adored the Lunar Chronicles and now Heartless blew me away as well. Determined to make her own decisions in life, Cath enters into a courtship with Jest, which would offend the king and infuriate her parents. Then she meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker.
Cath would love nothing more than to open her own bakery, something her mom says is impossible for the future queen. What happened before Alice went to Wonderland? That’s what Heartless will tell you!Ĭatherine is one of the most desired girls in Wonderland and a favourite of the unmarried king of Hearts. Hi everyone! I hope you’ve had a great week and that you have an even better weekend to look forward to! Today I bring you a review of a book that is a prequel to a beloved classic.
