This is one of those “It’s not you, book, it’s me” times, which is a terrible shame because I expected to love it. A darker Wonderland tale about the rise of a horrible queen? Hell yeah! Sign me up! And it started out well! This isn’t a bad book. It’s not badly written. I just suffered some sort of ...
Wow. So this starts out adorable, and keeps it up for most of its runtime. It puts a more whimsical and romantic twist on the Wonderland canon than most current retellings, and then twists the heck out of it for the finale. Can't say a lot about that without spoilers, other than you're afraid it's c...
I didn't give this 5 stars because the first half of the story is a little slow and I didn't really connect with the characters at first. But after that it's all the magic and adventure Marissa Meyer has us accustomed to. To be honest, I dreaded getting to the end because we all know how the origina...
2 1/2 starsThis book started off beautifully. I loved the food, and the characters, and the strangeness of the world. It went downhill from the time of the mockturtle.

A talented baker, she wants to open a shop and create delectable pastries. But for her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for a woman who could be a queen. At a royal b...
When I saw Marissa Meyer was writing a new book, I could not wait for it. When I saw it was a retelling, I was even happier. I pre-ordered the book, but it never came. I have no idea why, but when it was supposed to be sent, I got an e-mail telling me it was out of stock (why preorder a book if it's...
I loved the Lunar Chronicles, and when I heard that Meyer was writing a book about the Queen of Hearts, I was thrilled! Catherine wants nothing more out of life than to open her own bakery with her dear friend, Mary Ann. Unfortunately for her, her parents have other plans. Cath has caught the King's...
I really, really enjoyed this book. I had the nonsense that Wonderland has but it still made sense. The characters are brilliantly written and Marissa Meyer made them her own, while they were still recognizable as the characters created by Lewis Carroll. The writing is beautiful and I love that we g...
