Heartless by Marissa Meyer
Who liked Cinder and The Lunar Chronicles? Well, your favourite author is back at it again! Heartless by Marissa Meyer is entrancing from the very beginning! Catherine lives in Wonderland, the land of...wonders. She wants to be a baker, not a queen, so when the King proposes, she is not exactly the happiest pumpkin in the garden (a plus point to reading the book: you will understand the previous joke)! Then, in a sudden whirlwind, she meets Jest, the new court joker who captivates her. Is their romance meant to be?
Well, you will have to find out, won't you? I never realized this, but this book can be viewed as the prequel to the life of the Red Queen. This basically creates a reasonable explanation for the way she ended up, mad and incorrigible. Marissa Meyer definitely outdid herself in this magical book! Her imaginative writing method pulled me into the plot and it felt like I was experiencing everything going on in the book. I felt all of Catherine's emotions and I could imagine all the events happening. I really enjoyed Heartless.
Additionally, Heartless can not only be viewed as a fantasy, romance and adventure genre, but also has a bit of a mysterious edge, which makes it a very well-rounded story that will appeal to all readers! This book is so out of this world, you could never see it coming! Even though, technically, you know the ending, everything begins to make sense at the end when the puzzle is solved. Instead of talking in rhymes and riddles, I'm going to suggest you immediately go and read this book!
