Heartless by Marissa Meyer
1.0

Wow, I hated this book. The only reason I finished was that I got it in a deal on Audible and couldn't return it. (also, please don't listen to it unless you want inconsistent and bad accents!) Cath is THE WHINIEST character. I don't know if y'all have noticed this from some of my other reviews but I can't STAND a whiny protagonist. There was literally nothing interesting about Cath. I'm also really tired of this trend in recent years that every other leading lady is a baker. OH MY GOD, SHE BAKES! SHE'S SO QUIRKY AND DIFFERENT! I guess all manic pixie dream girls have to have a hobby. The ONLY redeeming quality of this book was vengeful Catherine at the very end but she only lasted, what, two chapters? Even Jest, who was the best male lead this could have produced, liked a fucking wet blanket like Cath and I can't forgive him for that. I'm really just fucking angry after reading this; it was a solid idea but a horrible execution. As a former portrayer of the Queen of Hearts, I say, "OFF WITH ITS HEAD!"
