Long before she was Lewis Carroll's tyrannical Queen of Hearts, Catherine Pinkerton 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 unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen.
Then Cath 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 magical and epic retelling of the origins of an iconic literary villain, Heartless is a must-read for all fans of Alice in Wonderland.

Please, American narrators, for the love of God, if you haven't lived in the UK for an extended period and/or drilled the hell out of the accent with a native British tutor (ideally both + a naturally good ear for accents), stop trying to do the accent. No, it doesn't sound real. Yes, you sound like an American who might, at best, have heard the Queen speak on the telly once. No, Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins and Heather Graham in From Hell are not good choices upon which to model your accent. Just stop it.
I was really looking forward to this book, and I liked Rebecca Soler's work on the Lunar Chronicles (apart from Queen Camilla, as the accent suffered from the same problem, but she appeared so infrequently that it was easily ignored. Not so here), but this...it just hurts to listen to.
The accents. Dear God why?
