Heartless Hette by M.L. Farb

5.0

Heartless Hette is a reimagining of a classic fairy tale, and immerses the reader in a beautiful, dangerous world of magic and lore. The characters come to life in a way that made me love (and hate some) them at the same time. Either way, each evoked strong emotions and made me want to binge my way through the story to see how they fare.

Hette, the main character, undergoes an amazing personal journey, and becomes so real I felt as though she were a friend, not just a character. The Fool was my favorite character from the moment he was introduced. He's funny, quirky, and somehow wise, all at the same time.

If you think fairy tales are just for kids, think again. Heartless Hette is so well written and infectious, any adult with a kid inside will love it.
