Heartless by Marissa Meyer





Amy  

young adult, fantasy

I enjoyed, Heartless, a creative explanation of why some things in Wonderland are the way we know them to be from Alice’s story. (Similar to the way Wicked explains Oz.) This story is not about Alice but, rather, everyone else from Wonderland. While it was a fun tale and quite ingenious, it felt geared toward the younger side of YA. I think it felt more childish due to the world of Wonderland itself, what with animals and plants interacting with humans.

The narrator of this audiobook, however, was fantastic. She had a million different voices and accents and was so animated in her roles. I give her, Rebecca Soler, an A+. Between her narrating and the creativity in Marissa Meyer’s writing, I enjoyed the novel. However, it’s not as good as her Lunar Chronicles series, in my opinion. If you’re an Alice in Wonderland fan you would enjoy it.
