![]() ![]() I have read, and loved, a lot of Marissa Meyer’s other books, the Lunar Chronicles and Instant Karma, so I will admit that I was expecting a lot out of this book. I think that this books was a tad overhyped. In her first stand-alone teen novel, the New York Times-bestselling author dazzles us with a prequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. ![]() For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. Then Cath 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. ![]() 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. Long before she was the terror of Wonderland, she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. Long before she was the terror of Wonderland–the infamous Queen of Hearts–she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. ![]()
