![]() ![]() Even knowing that she would eventually become the Queen of Hearts, I still fell in love with Cath right away. Although I knew the story would ultimately end badly for Meyer’s heroine, I still loved reading every magical moment of her journey.Ĭath. ![]() Well, not only does Meyer create a plausible backstory for the Queen of Hearts, complete with new characters and an original storyline, but she is also able to do all of this while retaining all of the whimsy and wonder from the original fairytale. Thankfully though, it was so worth the wait! I devoured Heartless in just a couple of sittings and feel like I can’t sing its praises high enough.įor anyone unfamiliar with the premise for Heartless, it’s meant to be an origin tale for the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, basically providing a plausible backstory for her and explaining what then led her to become the character that we all love to hate. It was actually one of my most anticipated reads for 2016, but for reasons I can’t explain, I’m just now getting around to reading it. Marissa Meyer’s Heartless is one of the most wonderful, whimsical, and heartbreaking books I’ve read this year.
