Long before she was the terror of
Wonderland — the infamous Queen of Hearts — she was just a girl who wanted to
fall in love.
Catherine 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. 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. But according to her mother, such a goal is
unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next Queen.
At a royal ball where Cath is
expected to receive the king's marriage proposal, she 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.
My Thoughts
While I love that Meyer’s doing another fairytale retelling,
I’m not too terribly thrilled about this story centering around the bad guy.
Err… girl of Wonderland. Hopefully, Meyer will change my mind though. Oh, and
before I forget to mention it, I’m going to meet Meyer in St. Louis during her
October Fierce Reads tour! Woot! Woot!
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
Oh! I'm excited to read this one as well! I still need to finish the Lunar Chronicles series, but I've really enjoyed Meyers writing! :) Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI still need to read the Stars Above book, but I read all the main ones, even Winter with its bazillion pages. ;)
DeleteMarissa is fun to meet in person. Have a great time.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that you get to meet her! I'm excited to read this book - hopefully soon, it's been sitting on my shelf for months. I hope you enjoy this book when you get a chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week. :)
Check out my WoW post!
I know right! I'm excited to see her, but I won't be able to get Heartless signed since it doesn't release until Nov. :(
