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 Heartless, Marissa Meyer's stand-alone novel, the New York Times-bestselling author dazzles us with a prequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Marissa Meyer doesn't dissapoint, her take on the queen of heart's origin story is brilliant.

Love this book!!!

What a great telling of how the queen of hearts came to be so "heartless" if you love fantasy stories you will love this book!

MY FAVORITE ALICE IN WONDERLAND WORLD EVER!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Heartless to be better than the print version?

hmmmm That is tough because I love real books but due to a busy lifestyle I listen to them most of the time now but when its a favorite as this one is, I purchase the real book to add to my bookshelf for just in case a Hurricane hits and we have no power or if I have down time and can really read. =)

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Joker - his addition to this breathtaking twist on a story we all grew up on is fantastic.

Which scene was your favorite?

OHHHHHHHHHHHH THE WHOLE BOOK!! I'd say the tea party. That was amazing.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The Truth Behind Wonderland

Any additional comments?

I devoured this book. I am a huge fan of Marissa Meyer's work. When I saw this book and what it was about I couldn't wait to start!! As soon as the book finished, I restarted it over again! Twice! I couldn't get enough of it. This is such a believable story about how the Queen of Hearts came to be who she is. The whole time, even after I finished it the first time I would plead that the ending would be different and that she wouldn't become the Queen of Hearts we know and grew up with! The story line was clever, humorous, engaging, addictive and lovable! By far my favorite book I got to listen to ever! I can't wait to see what worlds Marissa creates next!!
