A review by lauren0danielle
Heartless by Marissa Meyer

5.0

As always, Marissa Meyer delivers a well crafted, emotional and riveting journey. Even though the inevitable conclusion is apparent from the beginning (due to the subject), I still was hoping until the very ending that Meyer would pull out a trick worthy of Jest and give me a happy ending. One of the most refreshing things about Heartless was how utterly different from other retellings of Alice in Wonderland in that it felt much more authentic to the original story, and less like it should have been sold at Hot Topic in the early 2000s. More about the fantasy, and less about the trippy quality sometimes ascribed to it.
