Heartless? More like heartbroken because I was a mess by the end of this book. 😭This is an Alice in Wonderland prequel that focuses on the Queen of Hearts and how she became the ruthless queen we see in Alice in Wonderland. I was expecting things to not go well for the queen, but damn was I not prepared! Especially because of how much I ended up loving Cath, the future Queen of Hearts! She was so precious and sweet and all she wanted to do was be the Tarte Baker of the kingdom. She didn’t want to be Queen at all! But she was destined to be the Queen of Hearts, and I knew that something terrible needed to happen to make her the way she is in Alice in Wonderland.But onto more pleasant things: the romance. The romance was SO freaking cute! There was flirty banter between Cath and Jest right from the start and I loved it! Their interactions were just so cute! And I loved Jest! He was just so fun and thoughtful!---"...Cath was standing on the surf, staring out into the sea, and realizing with sudden certainty that she was losing her heart to this fool."---I also really loved the world! I think Wonderland is just such an interesting, wacky, and fun world, and I enjoyed exploring Marissa Meyer’s take on it. Marissa Meyer just writes the best retellings! And the story she wove for the Queen of Hearts in this book was amazing! Heartbreaking, yes, but also very fun. The characters were wacky and interesting, the tea party was chaotic and fun (I expected nothing less lol), and the thing with the attacking Jabberwock was very intriguing! There was a plot twist there that was very surprising! I liked it!Even though this book made me bawl my eyes out, I loved it! It was such a fun read with great characters, and I enjoyed following Cath on her journey as she navigated her predetermined destiny of becoming the Queen of Hearts. I highly recommend it!

the cover is utterly beautiful and I'm so so soooooo excited to read this book it sounds interesting asf. There were tiny smiges of the red foil on the spine but other than that the quality is AMAZING. However, be sure to check the seller ratings under the product so that you get the orders in the best condition!!

Heartless is the story of a princess with very simple needs and a head full of simpler dreams.Heartless is the story of an ordinary girl who possesses an extraordinary power to bring back things from her dreams.Heartless is the story of a girl who only wanted to bake and to fall in love with her prince charming.Catherine is a young girl, who loves to bake and is very good at it. Her sweets are loved by all who have had the privilege to try them and the demand for her hand baked delights only seems to rise like a sweet dough left aside. All she wants is to open a bakery and live her dream. She has the full support of her maid and best friend, Mary Ann in this little venture and they both have decided to be business partners. All has been decided; Cath would do all the baking and Mary Ann would handle the accounts.But there’s a slight problem here.Cath’s mother would never approve of her only daughter going into the men’s world of business, especially with a humble servant like Mary Ann as her partner. And that’s not all. There is a bigger part of the story where she falls in love but her lover is not approved by her family as he is an ordinary court joker, Jest.Oh Jest!He isn’t as ordinary as he pretends to be. His entry into the king’s court brings a dark entity to the court. And all this happens on the same day when the king decides to propose Catherine to be his wife;on the same day when Cath’s prospect of opening a bakery in town was crushed by her parents;on the same day when Cath and Jest fall in love.I can rave about this book for as long as the person I am raving to doesn’t hit me with the same book and make me unconscious. Heartless was my second best read of 2017; the first place is undoubtedly taken by The Harry Potter series♥.Merissa Meyer managed to hold me right from the first sentence of the book and didn’t let me escape, till the last words were read. Her writing flows and you wouldn’t notice the pages go by so effortlessly. I didn’t know how I was reading so fast and yet grasping each and every emotion the book had to offer me. It made me smile, and at times, I even howled with laughter( my mother had to hit me to make it stop); it made me cry and I could feel my soul being crushed by what I was reading(but I tell you even that couldn’t make me stop reading this mind boggling book); it made me hopeful that magic was possible and it could be found anywhere, in anything. P_20171220_103939 P_20171220_104227The plot is well written and well woven too i’d say as it takes some reference from the original Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carol. I loved the characters and actually they were the best part of the book for me. The author worked very well with the character development of each of them, irrespective of how often they were to appear in the story. I had most fun reading the banters between Cath and Cheshire, the disappearing cat. Cheshire was one of the best characters for me, portraying all the traits we can imagine a magical cat could handle. She often made remarks like,” It is a dangerous thing to UNBELIEVE something, only because it frightens you.”” I would offer you one, but i don’t want to.”” Fascinating isn’t it, how often heroic and foolish turn out to be one and the same.”These remarks are not even a justifying proof of Cheshire’s wit and sarcastic tongue.The relationships shown in this book have been nurtured like babies and treated delicately so that the reader feels like home when he reads about them. There is no instant love crap and the reason for why people are attached to each other are mentioned everywhere. Friendships in this book are to die for and very ideal i would say. Merissa Meyer builds relations like a pro and I don’t think anyone can replace or dominate over my feelings for her writing after this book; this absolutely amazing, delightfully gorgeous book.There’s so much more to it when you read it in the passage with all the other characters dancing around in your head, waiting for their part to be played. This book is going to be the one of my favourite books of all times. And I highly recommend you read it as soon as possible (what i mean is read it right NOW).This book had been on my shelf for months before I started reading it and I regret it so much that why hadn’t I read it before.It’s a flawless masterpiece.Here, I’ll leave you with some magical lines from the book.Enjoy guys.“Her eyes snapped open. A blush climbing up her neck. She’d been dreaming about the joker.AGAIN.”“I see nothing all the time”“To be alright implies an impossible phase. We hope for mostly right on the best of our days.”“To be alright implies an impossible phase. We hope for mostly right on the best of our days.”“Jest walked like falling snowflakes.”“Attraction is a subjective thing, but charisma is universal.”“Are you a doctor?No, I am a joker and that’s even better.”“She couldn’t stand the idea of crushing her friend’s dreams, not when she was still so new to dreaming.”“We’re desperate enough.”P_20171220_104419_HDRHope you liked this review.Thanks for reading.
