What it’s about:
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.
Why I am waiting for this release:
- There will be pastries
- It’s by Marissa Meyer
- It’s a fairytale retelling
- And a forbidden romance
Those are my main reasons for wanting to read this book. In that exact order.
I’m really, really anticipating this book as well! Even if I am not done with the Lunar Chronicles series yet, I know Marissa Meyer is one of these authors I want, and need to follow. Plus, that story sounds FABULOUS. Can’t wait! 🙂
It does sound so amazing! Marissa Meyer definitely has become an auto-buy author for me and the story just sounds so fun and original again 🙂
