    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 feel like everyone in the comments knows exactly what I am feeling. I finished it today and I am ripped to shreds.

    • @ebnovels
      @ebnovels  6 років тому +10

      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

    ( 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

    • @ebnovels
      @ebnovels  6 років тому +7

      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

    @gothchic117 5 років тому +36

    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

  • @kaylabelle33
    @kaylabelle33 7 років тому +25

    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!

  • @queen-so5xf

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!!

    • @ebnovels
      @ebnovels  6 років тому +3

      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 :'(

    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.

    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....

    • @ebnovels
      @ebnovels  6 років тому +5

    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!

    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.

    • @ebnovels
      @ebnovels  6 років тому +1

      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 :)

      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.
