Synopsis:
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.
A retelling of the Queen of Hearts story from Wonderland….yeah need I say more?
Okay, I’m definitely picking up Cinder ASAP. I keep seeing this book lately and it pains me that I haven’t yet read a Marissa Meyer! And I love these sorts of retellings.
Have a look at my #WoW on my Blog
Cinder is one of my all time favorite books. I highly recommend it.
I am super excited for this one as well. I’m still in the midst of finishing The Lunar Chronicles (only 1 to go: Winter!), but I can’t wait to see Marissa Meyer’s take on Wonderland!
Here’s a look at My WoW for this week.
I LOVE the Lunar Chronicles, and can’t wait to see how she does with this retelling.

Great pick. I definitely haven’t read enough books by Marissa Meyer.
