Slow start, felt rushed but the ending was nice. I got a little confused on some aspects towards the middle. It felt like they were throwing things at the reader and moving on to the next thing quickly. I wish the book was longer to better develop the world or the relationship between Cath and Jest and bit more and understand the universe they live in. Caths ending was amazing ngl, we love to see a badass women get revenge--i just wish there was more murder. Overall a solid book, but I wouldn't want to read it again nor would I recommend buying it, rent from a library or friend.

Sweet Hearts, this book was amazing.
After reading a second time I must add that I will never get over just how wonderful this book really is. As a huge fan of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Edgar Allan Poe, I can’t ask for anything better than Marissa Meyer’s Heartless

If you LOVE Alice In Wonderland, then you will love this retelling with different characters, abilities, and some similarities! Marissa Meyer did a wonderful job in keeping some aspects similar in the true Alice In Wonderland fashion! Step into this world and you won’t be disappointed or you could depending on your perspective.

This book had me reading sooooo fast because it was so easy to fall in love with Cath the main character! If anyone wondered why the Red Queen came to be, this book depicts just that through Cath’s journey of Nobel life as a lady, love, heartache and revenge. The title is the exact epitome of what happens when a heart is broken beyond repair. -Heartless
