SPOILERRRRRRRRRREEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR
SPOILERRRRRRRRRREEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR
OK HELO!
I'm so happy, that I read this book! And of course, I cried even when I knew that this bookend is tragic. But the crying wasn't that much it surprises me, that I was sadder when the guy with hats got crazy and not when Jest died. But I think this is because of the spoiler that I got. Spoilers did not help to read and enjoy this book.
But did I like it?
The beginning was really strange, that girl talked with cakes and cats, so I was not comfortable at that moment.
But then I kind of got to the point, where this thing didn't surprise me so much. And I just enjoyed the story.
I started to live there and not just read about that.

At first, I wanted what Catherine wanted: to have a bakery shop. But then...
The king and the Joker...
I was absolutely, unconditionally in love with Jest, I loved his eyes and his smile with dimples, I liked his mysteries and the attention that he gave to Catherine... I loved practically everything, and was sad, because of the situation with King.
So I lived like characters in the book, not breathing in real life.

Character:
What I didn't like, was that Catherine played with Jest's heart, she got a lot of chances to change her decision, but always she chose family or friend or fever, but not him. Still promised even when she knew that it's hard to.

But I perfectly understand why she got so angry, sad, numb, cold-hearted, and just the cruel Queen. She lost the only this she cared about in life, even her dream of a bakery shop was tied up with him and she lost it. She knew that she will but she HERSELF decided to play with time, with fate, and of course, she lost. Then she got the blame on everyone except her, because that is what people in pain do, they can't blame themselves, because that is just too much to take. She got angry, then furious, and then just numb.
Plot:
Ple plot twist with different mirrors and other kingdoms was interesting and unexpected. I liked that a lot!

I think that's it! It was worth it and I'm happy that I read it!
