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.

Disappointed

I was really enjoying every minute of this book and the way It was written until the very end. I hate it when books don't have a reasonable ending. I just don't think I can recommend this book to anyone.

Unsatisfying

It's a good book, but I was left unsatisfied. I don't want to give anything else away. #DarkFantasy #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

WONDERFULLY DONE

The story was well written and performed. my fave part was the Queen and watching her grow.
the reader did a wonderful job. her voices had me grinning they seemed perfect for the way they were written.
I was worried after reading the other reviews but I was happy. it was a wonderful over all performance.

Desperately wanting yet knowing

Happy to say another strong woman will be created by this author. Love her charachters, so we'll written, easy to love or hate as you should. Fun twists to the end you know must come but wish didn't.

Heartbreaking

I never cry when I read books...but this book was so heartfelt (no pun intended) that it made me break down in tears. Marissa Meyer portrays the protagonist Catherine's inner world so well that I felt like I was falling in love and my heart was breaking right alongside hers. Richly creative, emotionally compelling, and beautifully read, this book is one I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys fantasy.
