I’m a huge fan of Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles series, and absolutely love how she works familiar tales into stories that are fresh and new. Her latest novel, Heartless, which tells the story of the Queen of Hearts when she was a young woman, is no exception. It’s a little less of a Happily Ever After than Cinder and gang found in the end, but that’s to be expected if you know anything at all about the ruthless Queen.
If you’re up for a little heartache mixed with a ton of fun—and swoon!—check out my full review at our series on Kirkus.
