Just as with her other novels, Heartless is a rollercoaster from beginning to end and I really enjoyed the twists that were included. Shame on me for not knowing Marissa Meyer better than that by now. When you start reading the story, it seems like another cliché reworking with Alice in Wonderland characters and I was so sure I could predict exactly how Catherine's storyline would go. However, just as with Cinder, this works amazingly for the story in the long run. Heartless started off for me in the same way as Cinder did: cliché and slow. Trying to open her own bakery, finding out how to be with Jest and living in a kingdom that is fighting the Jabberwocky is enough to make anyone go mad. During their courtship, Catherine meets the court joker, Jest, and the two start a secret relationship. However, Catherine's parents believe she is too good to work and needs to marry an eligible bachelor - and no one is more eligible than the king. Heartless is the story of Catherine, a young girl who lives in Wonderland and dreams of becoming a baker. We fell in love with The Cinder Chronicles and now she is back, taking on Alice in Wonderland in her own unique way. At the end of the year, we always get some of the most anticipated releases! And I think that for most YA fans, Heartless by Marissa Meyer is right up there. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms.
At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship.
For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. 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. Long before she was the Queen of Hearts, Catherine Pinkerton was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. From New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles, Marissa Meyer. A vision of Wonderland like none you've seen before, Heartless tells the untold story of the girl who would become the notorious Queen of Hearts.
