The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles
'In Heartless, the nonsense that is Wonderland gets a reverential makeover, full of heart and its own idiosyncratic character.' Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and After Alice
Long before she was the terror of Wonderland, the infamous Queen of Hearts, she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love.
Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland and a favourite of the unmarried King, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, she wants to open a shop and create delectable pastries.
At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the King's marriage proposal, she meets handsome and mysterious Jest. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into a secret courtship.
Cath is determined to choose her own destiny. But in a land thriving with magic, madness and monsters, fate has other plans.

Wonderfully written and absolutely captivating. I decided to read this purely as part of a reading challenge I set myself and this book was my 'read a book you chose solely for its cover' selection. This was not my usual style/genre of novel but I thoroughly enjoyed the surprisingly fresh take on well known characters. I enjoyed the unpredictability of this book and the talent this author has in creating a world that ensnares you until the very end. I was left wanting more from this story though, as it definitely does not end the way you expect.
