Download the first four chapters free! Long before she was the terror of Wonderland, she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. An Alice in Wonderland prequel from the #1 bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles. 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, when 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. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Not much to say except that Marissa Meyer makes the world of Wonderland really come alive in this stand alone novel that will take a look at a teenage Queen of Hearts. I re-read Wonderland before this book just to make sure that I caught all of the references. We have the Cheshire Cat making an appearance, along with the White Rabbit, Mary Anne, the deck of cards, etc.
The character of Catherine seems quite strong willed and wants to be a baker though her mother has other ideas for her.
I can't get a real sense of anyone yet since it was only four chapters. I have to say that I thought the writing/world building seemed stronger than it even did in the Lunar Chronicles books. That was my only complaint about those books is that I didn't really get the world they were in, and not enough things were explained. Since we have a reference point for Wonderland it's cool to see Meyer bring up the court intrigue and how everything is arranged in Wonderland.
I am hoping for an awesome map or something to come in the final version of the book. ( )
