Heartbroken

Villains, Book 12

De: Serena Valentino

Narrado por: Lucy Rayner

She missed the days of wonder. But those days were long past. All that remained was the anger.

You may think you know the story of the Queen of Hearts, the bloodthirsty tyrant known for seeing red. Surely you’ve heard of the young girl Alice, who fell through the rabbit hole to a place called Wonderland, and how she defeated its villainous ruler in order to find her way back home.

But have you ever wondered about the Queen’s own first day in Wonderland? Did she encounter the same wonders—and horrors—as Alice? Are the laws of the land her royal decree—or a desperate attempt to bring order to a place that refuses to make sense?

And why is she so angry?

It may be hard to answer, with any certainty, questions about a world created from the broken shards of others. In the end, it all comes down to a woman fighting against the darkness within, and her unlikely friendship with a little white rabbit.

Villains do have a story to tell.

Serena Valentino has given SO MANY villains a voice & this one is no difference, unless you count the ❤️💔❣️. I love this one SO much❣️ You really start to understand the Queen in this & the story of her. I honestly can say this one tugged at my ❤️ strings. As you get more & more into her story, you really can see the Queen as person, (kinda), & get the Wonderland vibe as well from her. Simply put Wonderland isn't Wonderland without it's madden Queen & her ❤️s story.

Characters

It brings you back to how the first few books were written, it really makes you feel for the queen of hearts which is why I loved the original few in the first place

yes finally yes

she got a happy ending well I would say she did she may not know but at least the queen of hearts is not angry or suffering the white rabbit got his queen back idk if its a start to every villains happy ending but it was soooo good my heart broke at the end but of happy Ness not left heart broken after he got his queen he has her back and she has no anger and he can maybe help her not to oh god what a great book great read great story can not wait for more to come!

Heartbroken

Ugh, poor queen of hearts. i loved this story, excited for the next one. Is Fantasia next?

Just keeps getting better

Every one of these books are so fantastic!! I’ve recommended them to everyone, and can’t say enough good things. I can’t wait for the next release and to see where the series goes in the future!

Another magical adventure

If you have read the series to date it should be no surprise that the odd sisters are in a better “place” at the time of this tale. I love the origin we get a glimpse of for the Queen of hearts, and following around the white rabbit, and I love how they help snow whites queen, but overall it was a bit short. I would have liked more explanation of the red and white queens- some more backstory?-and I’m stuck on the cliff hanger with Cersei so I am anxiously awaiting the next volume of villain to finish her tale!

Story telling

Loved the book! Had so many twists and turns added in, leaving in a cliffhanger for the next one… enjoyed the story telling from all perspectives

Least favorite of the series

The Queen of Hearts is my favorite villain so it was so disappointing that this story didn't leave me liking her anymore or less. I kept waiting for it to ramp up and get better but sadly it did not.

Meh

Lucy is obviously the perfect narrator! Nevertheless, I was disappointed. Did not care for the storyline. It was all over the place.
