9.5/10 Long before she was the terror of Wonderland—the infamous Queen of Hearts—she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love.
Book summary:
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 Catherine 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.
Book Review:
This book was HUGE! it took me a month to read, but it was worth it!
Marissa Meyer is an amazing author. This was the first Alice in Wonderland retelling I have ever read, and I was not disappointed. The Queen of Hearts has always been a favorite villain of mine. Although Tim Burton did a great job on the live action movie, this book gave way more detail about the land. If you are looking for a standalone book, you should read this. I can’t wait for the sequel. Please read this book.
