In the literature realm, turning classic fairy tails into prequels or sequels has been an on going trend. If you are a big fan of\u00a0<em>Alice in Wonderland,\u00a0<\/em>this is the book for you. This story follows the story of how the Queen of Hearts came to be. In\u00a0<em>Heartless<\/em>, we get to see versions of our old favorite characters from\u00a0<em>Alice,\u00a0<\/em>such as The Mad Hatter, Cheshire the Cat, and so much more. This book is definitely one of my favorite books just because the story was always keeping me gripped, I am a fan of\u00a0<em>Alice in Wonderland,\u00a0<\/em>and I was always wanting more. While I was disappointed that this book is only a novel, I would really recommend for those who enjoyed the fairy tales that we all grew up with, to go to your nearest library\/book store and give this book a try. While the beginning of the book is a little slow, it is definitely worth it in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catherine has no intentions of becoming Queen, despite her parents intentions.
