The day I finished it, I WAS LEFT DESTROYED. I was completely shredded to pieces at the end. Call me an idiot if you must, but I went into the book not really expecting Cath to become the Queen of Hearts. I just thought it was oriented around the villain. So, naturally when I found out, you know the thing that destroyed everybody, I WAS CRUSHED AS IF A ROCK FELL ON ME AND EXPLODED ALL THE LIVING TEARS OUT OF ME! I was just so raw inside, and every time I looked at the book on my shelf, I felt my heart break even more. Nevertheless, the book was absolutely beautiful.
Hahaha, you're not an idiot!!! I was hoping the whole time that maybe it'd turn out happy! I mean, I'm kinda morbid and love when books go dark, but STILL!!! It was so sad :'(
I'm glad to know I'm not along though! Haha, when I finished it, I was pretty bummed out.
OMGGGGG!!! Saaaammmmeeeee! I didn’t now she was the queen of hearts and it devastated me! Also, poor Jest😭😭
Just finished it today, Jest was my favorite character, great book, horrible ending. Read the book in one day because it was soo good, I just skimmed the final chapters because they were so sad. My day was horrible till I started reading the book then my day got better, it didn't stay that way for long.
I felt the same way.
Though I finished just a minute ago.
I feel like everyone in the comments knows exactly what I am feeling. I finished it today and I am ripped to shreds.
RIGHT?!? The whole time I was thinking, "I know this is a villain origin story, but it can't possibly go THAT badly, right?"
I was so naive :P
Elliot Brooks Yeah. It caused one of my biggest book hangovers ever
( Spoiler )
It broke my heart not only about Jest but because Cath was such a pure character and I can understand exactly where she's coming from but it hurts my heart that she'll never be the same also THE TURTLE IS LIKE MY BABY I WANTED HIM AS MY PET SO BAD😭😭Also I do blame Cath a Little Bit about Jest ugh it broke me
I was so mad when she was like, "we have to go back!" Girl, you KNEW what would happen!!! :O Haha, but yes, I was so sad for both Jest and Cath. I just wanted them to be happy. Is that so much to ask?!?
Of course, typical me, them NOT being happy in the end is probably why I loved it so much :P
tbh I feel like Mary Ann's death would be so much more tolerable instead of Jest's :((
Ur sooo right!!
Yup so true
Okay but imagine picking this book up just thinking it was set in Wonderland and then descending into madness as you slowly realize this is the ORIGIN STORY OF THE QUEEN OF HEARTS AND I WAS WAY TOO FAR INTO IT TO STOP READING AND NOW MY HEART IS IN PIECES AND I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS CLAIRE WHY DID YOU RECOMMEND IT
I just finished this book today and I AM NOT OK 😭. It was so good though. I've never read Alice in Wonderland, but I feel like you could start the cartoon movie right where this leaves off and everything would make sense.
I absolutely loved Heartless! It broke my heart so much when I read it but I thought it was really well done! I was surprised but how much I liked it as well. And I agree - the whole time I was thinking "how are we going to get out of this?" I love stories with sad endings because they have an air of authenticity to them (for me). Plus I love villain origin stories. I'm so happy you enjoyed this one!
I cried
several times. Like i read the ending and i still convinced myself it was gonna be all good. And after reading I was like THERE MUST BE A SEQUEL. I get the foo - foo thing
I have three words for this book. WHY JEST WHY?!?
This book left me dead inside😭 one second your like hm i like this charecter and the next he or she is dead!? This book made me laugh, cry, and it also made me want to punch any thing insight. I wonder who ever had the idea that reading was relaxing. Never the less i absaloutly loved this book, and Will deffeinetly re read it
i can so relate !!! like the moments with cath's parents, i wanted to scream. and when she and jest are together, I'd wanna combust into fluffy soft lovesick bubbles. aND THEN t h a t THING HAPPENED AND I WAS WRECKED. also, there's always that one perfect/ too good for the world kind of character and he always dies/turns out to be bad HAJSHAHAHA. this books is honestly my favorite even though it ripped my heart to shreds
I just Finished it this morning. and oh my god the ending is too much for me. I feel like someone just slapped me in the face. it's like I knew what was going to happen but, I was hoping that It was going through diffrent direction (if that make sense). Man... but still I love this book, I love the relationship between cath and jest. and btw, jest. oh my gad, he was the sweetest guy!!
Jest was the sweetest!!! I felt EXACTLY like you; the whole time, I was thinking, "ok, I know things are going to go terribly wrong, but...maybe they won't?" Like they would pull a Maleficent movie thing on us and have it not really be a villain origin story? But then the ending came, and I was sad :'(
Ahhh yes!! I totally agree with everything you said!! This book totally ruined me. Ruined. Me.
I just finished it tonight (i know late to the party) i was in love it unaware it was a villain origin story and now im ruined and destroyed and on and off crying marrissa meyer ripped my heart out (pun intended) i kept hoping a miracle would happen expected him to appear but NO now ill never be the same goodnight all 😭💀
Haha, I feel you! It was so surprisingly emotional!!! 😭😭😭
SPOILER!!!!!!
This was the saddest book I have ever read in my life although it only took me two days to read it I often find myself drifting off into space thinking about this book about things such as what if jest didn't die, what if Mary ann didn't go into the pumpkin patch what if hatta didn't throw the seeds. But this the best book I have read and I look forward to reading more novels by Marissa.
Do you have to read the lunar chronological before you read heartless?
@@zeinabhussein3060 I don't think so, I read heartless without reading the lunar chronicles
Thanks for your review 😍😍
I just have read it and same as you I DO NOT LIKE THE ENDING 😭😭😭. Even though it's satisfy that Peter has been killed for the revenge but I still think it will better if Cath died. So she can meet Jest again. It's just my point of view....
Haha, I have a love/hate relationship with the ending. I mean, it hurt me and tore out my heart, so of course--morbid me--I LOVED it. But yes! I wish she could've been with him again!!!
Going into the book I didn’t even know Cath would become the queen of hearts.
So imagine how heartbroken my idiot self was 😭
I feel the same way as she is explaining. If only Cath had not picked that pumpkin off hatta had not thrown those seeds. 😢😭🤧
where i live there is a garden and in the garden a small chunk of it is painted black and white like a chess boarad and guyss.........................i feel like you all know what i am feeling rn
i loved it soo freaking dam much
Finished it today, tore me to shreds. I didn't have time to read for a long time and this was my first book a willingly read in a long time. Everything about it was absolutely fabulous.
I read this and absolutely loved it! The end got to me so hard. Why just why? Beautifully written and so tragically sad.
I read it but I wasn’t really hurt because I feel like I wasn’t really introduced to the fact that cath and jest actually love each other it was sad though and was a good book. One of my favs
I loooved the book. Its definitely an absolute fave. The ending was way too sad tho😢 I totally relate with everything you said.
I just finished this book yesterday and it is already my new favorite. The writing style in it and the characters makes it so good. When I read the last few pages I felt a deep pain of sadness. This is definitely a book to read multiple times.
I hated this book but loved it SO much. 😥
I finished it today and even though I knew from the beginning she was gonna become the villain, I hoped throughout the entire book it would end well. But it didn't. And they let me fall for Jest and they killed him 300 pages later. 😭
This is a spot-on review! And I also loved how much it tore me apart at the end:)
Oh my goodness, it tore me apart too! Gah, it's such a bummer! But also great :)
This sounds really cool! I love going into books blind so when I heard it was about the Queen of Hearts, I was like "oh, maybe I should stop watching from here," but you really gave little away while doing a good job with the review. This is definitely going on my TBR!
Daaaaang Elliot Brooks #1. This sounds like a good book... may have to check it out. Glad you started this channel
I was reading this book by a chance during a long time at my base in the army, It's the first book about romance I ever had the chance to decipher and I enjoyed it a lot more then I imagined, usually women read this sort of books and it saddens me that it is so, cause romance is dying in our modern times and the only way it can be rekindled is by men and women reading this type of books so they can love and cherish intimacy beyond that of their sexual desires.
I also liked it a lot more then I expected! And yes, romance that isn’t centered around sex is definitely something I think there could be more of :)
I just ordered this book and I'm dying to read ittt I'm so excited
Oh my goodness! I just finished reading last night. I came to UA-cam to find some solace. I figured it would be sad, but this was next level for me. I have had a pit in my stomach all day.
i cried so much in the end of this book that my mom get worried
Shoul I read/watch alice in wonderland before reading it?
Loved this review! Now you have made me want to pick mine up! What state do you live in?
Elliot Brooks dang! I live in TN. I just want booktube friends to hang with hahah. We can be virtual friends. Let's for sure find a book buddy read.
I just finished it and I am absolutely emotionless. excuse the fact that I cried several times, i am now sitting in shock. not only did I cry so many times and jest's death, but I cried at the end to see what seems like such a sweet girl, turn into the ruthless queen of hearts. and she and jest didn't get the happy ending they deserved :(((
Another well done review by Elliot Brooks.
I just finished it and i’m speechless. When I was getting close to the end and the whole Jest thing happened i felt so stupid because i kept thinking that somehow he was gonna come back HE HAD TO COME BACK but the i got to the last page and i was so madd😭 I could believe that was it but as everyone is saying we all knew she was gonna become the Queen of Hearts at the end but i had that little hope that she and Jets were going to have their happy ending 😭
❤
Loved this review. I just picked this up and I'm excited to read it. I heard mixed reviews but the premise is really what's interesting to me!
Quite a lot of people enjoyed it! I just finished Throne of Glass scratching my head but I realize that yeah, some characters are just meant to be youthful. I don't think everything has to be too deep and profound. IA I think there's room for many different types of female characters.
Yes I feel bad to roast the book but at the end I appreciated Throne of Glass for what it is and looking forward to picking up the next one because I'm still interested in what's going to happen!
A lot of people are saying it gets better 😂. Celeana better get it together! Let me know how the third one is!
Oh my you’re probably been done reading for a while now. Are you ok????
Hey guys..I wanna buy a book for my frnd
1.Heartless by Melissa Meyer
2.Spinning silver by Naomi Novik
3. To kill a kingdom by Alexandra Christo
Which book did you like the most?
I absolutely loved loved loved this book 📖 ❤
I also read this during valentines day cause I thought hey, what's better than a heartbreak for Valentines day? Welp, I regret that im gonna spend vals day alone in my room. This book broke me :')
Also yeah, I get what you mean about the gratuitous violence. I was once reading a sci-fi/fantasy novel, Infinity Rises, and it suddenly got hugely violent to the point I wanted to vomit near the end. It just came out of nowhere and was a sudden change. Completely awful!
Jessica - Breathe and Read what book?
I have never felt this sad like omg jest
Ok I didn’t know it was the origin story I just got it cuz I’ve read the lunar chronicles so I read it and now I’m just a dead shell of a human being so yeah
It's 2020 and I am gonna type the most cliche comment:0:00 "Hey Guys "A legend was born
I was crying sooo hard when i read that jest dies. I can never watch the movie the same way again.
'And by worse i mean better'
Can I send you my new book? I know you have a bucket list of to-reads but just wondering. I would love to get feedback from a fellow die-hard reader and writer.
What do you prefer? Paperback or E-book? I'm guessing paperback based on your videos. Can you message me in Facebook with your info and I will have it shipped over?
Anyone at 25 Dec 2020
Oh no! Not the sex and cursing! That can be lethal
