The story develops as we see what led to Cath becoming the ruthless Queen of Hearts and the journey that gave the phrase “Off with his head” such character. But if you don’t mind a slow heart warming read that shatters your heart into pieces in the most agonising way, then Heartless is perfect!
So if you’re expecting adventurous fantasy for the to-be Queen of Hearts, then that is where you will be sorely disappointed. In terms of plot, this book isn’t up for much. “There was a time” – Cheshire yawned – “when you overflowed with whimsy and icing sugar. I am overflowing and I do not think you wish for me to overflow on to you.” I am full to the brim with murder and revenge. “Mind my words, Cheshire, I will have you banished from this kingdom if you tempt me.” With its melancholic settings and vibrant characters scattered throughout the book, I found Heartless to be a wonderful rendition of the Land of Hearts itself. But, if you’ve read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, you’ll know how Wonderland is set. It was so unexpected because the beginning was slow and nothing major actually happens. So, to be fair, I did lower my expectations a whole lot because I thought this book was going to be overrated.īut I am so glad I turned out lovin’ this book ! To start this review off, here are a couple of responses I received when I showed this book on my social media: “But hoping,” he said, “is how the impossible can be possible after all.” But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship.Ĭath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the king’s marriage proposal, she 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 and supply the Kingdom of Hearts with delectable pastries and confections. Long before she was the terror of Wonderland - the infamous Queen of Hearts - she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love.Ĭatherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the yet-unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere.
