When it started off I was feeling kind of meh towards the book, it wasn’t bad but I wasn’t particularly interested. This book ripped my heart out and stomped on it several times. It reminds me of the cover of Carrie Fletcher’s On The Other Side with the tree and the artistic style. I really like it, I think that is is super amazing. Now over here on the left is the Dutch cover. This one is so cute, I actually think I like it better than the US cover because it shows a bit more of what the story is about. On the right is the UK cover I am familiar with. I don’t love this one honestly, I feel like it doesn’t fully show what the story is about and how mystical and amazing it is. Third is a cover that is new to me, I think it’s an alternative UK cover. I was able to find a bunch of book covers for Heartless, I think because the book is being released in countries all over the world at the moment. The one on the left is the American/Australian cover, then there is a white version of the sa me cover which was released in owlcrate (I think) as a special version. But how far will Cath actually go? And when it comes down to it, what matters the most to her? Cath finds herself drawn to Jest, but as she discovers more about him she finds herself willing to do pretty much anything to avoid marrying the King. He’s charming, mysterious and pivots between incredibly flirtatious one second and completely cold the next. Their efforts start to pay off and the king is interested in marrying Cath but she really doesn’t want to.Įnter Jest, the new court jester.

Cath is really nice and sweet, she dreams of opening a bakery in the kingdom but her parents want her to marry the king so make her go to a lot of court functions. Going into the book we know that the main character Cath will end up as the Queen of Hearts, it’s basically her origin story. Heartless is a retelling of Alice in Wonderland, well it’s set in the same world and has most of the same characters however it takes place earlier in the timeline. This is actually my first Marissa Meyer book but I do have the Lunar Chronicles on my shelf to read very soon.

Heartless is a Alice in Wonderland retelling by the queen of retellings – Marissa Meyer.

Heartless by Marissa Meyer releases on February 9th in the UK but in the US and Australia it released in November so I was able to get my hands on this book.
