I have such a soft spot for him and had my fingers crossed for a happy ending for him and Cath the entire time! He’s sweet, funny, and will do anything to support his lady. An original character, Jest is the hero of Cath’s (and now my) dreams. And rooting for Cath definitely meant that I was keeping my fingers crossed for Jest. It’s her mother who is the schemer and manipulator, forcing Cath to become engaged to the King of Hearts. In this version, Cath wants to be a baker and spend her days creating beautiful desserts for people to enjoy. I couldn’t believe how much I ended up liking Catherine! I’m a fan of Marissa Meyer’s writing style and the characters she created in the Lunar Chronicles, so I assumed she’d do a good job with the Queen of Hearts.but I didn’t expect to actually like Cath. There are so many ways that she could tell this story and I walked into it simply expecting to have fun as always Meyer’s delivers. That said, I was really excited to read Marissa Meyer’s Heartless, the “untold story” of the Queen of Hearts. I completely recognize the value of it it’s simply a personal opinion. I’ve written essays on it and taught it in lessons, but it’s just never been one of my favourite classics. I’ll be honest and say that I’ve never been the biggest fan of Alice in Wonderland, no matter the number of times I’ve read it.
