Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are all eagerly anticipating.
This week I’m waiting on Heartless by Marissa Meyer, a prequel of sorts to the classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I’m a sucker for all things Wonderland so I’m really excited to see Marissa Meyer‘s take on a teenage Queen of Hearts before her reign. I was blown away with her Lunar Chronicles so I have high hopes for this one!
Heartless by Marissa Meyeron 2016-11-16
Length: 416 pages
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 favorite of the yet-unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend and supply the Kingdom of Hearts with delectable pastries and confections. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next Queen.
At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the king's marriage proposal, she meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship.
Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
What are you not-so-patiently waiting on this Wednesday?
Great pick! This one is on my list, too! I loved the Lunar Chronicles, so I’m excited to see what she does next!
Heartless! I still need to finish the Lunar Chronicles series, but I really love Meyer’s writing. I’m excited to read something new by her! Great pick!

Love that cover! And the Queen of Hearts before her rule- that could be fun! I’m not huge into fairy tale retellings but this one I can see being really fun.
