Book Review(blended tea edition all my thoughts at once)
Heartless by Marissa Meyer
wow that character development and transformation was insane, nonetheless i was so disappointed
I expected this book to blow me out of the water. The middle and the beginning dragged and were unnecessarily drawn out. I didn't connect to Jest i didn't find him all that swoon worthy. Cath annoyed me at the end she made such stupid decisions and it just ugh annoyed me. The Hatta i didnt like at all he was in fact my last favorite character . I liked the whole moral of the beginning of the story which is live your life for yourself and do what makes you happy. I wanted more of the Chesire cat i liked him he was cute and funny it would have been nice if he had more of an overall involvement with the plot and story. Cath's transformation was interesting to see and she is a polar opposite of herself in the beginning to the end its crazy. I feel like the romance took too much center stage can't believe I'm saying that but if i had connected with it i would appreciated that but i didnt so i feel like the entire story and its purpose was the romance which was unfortunate. I would have liked more action and more suspense. It was incredibly predictable i saw it all coming. The jabberwock side plot didn't excite me and it didnt leave me on the edge of my seat it didnt scare me that much. The kingdom of hearts was very childish at times it felt like i was reading middle grade. The writing style was the best part of this book and its saving grace i love Marissa's writing style which is why i will read more of her books in the future. The writing flowed beautifully and it was whimsical in style and it was just the best part of the book. The first 50 pages of this book was amazing and afterward my connection to this book waned the book dragged and became childish i expected it to have action and a heart pounding romance and be high stakes but it wasn't and I'm so disappointed. Comparing this to Fairest i feel like Fairest was a lot better because we got more into Levana's psyche and her craziness engulfed my soul as i was reading it haha. In this book it was like all in the name of love... this entire book was and thats it. We didn't get into Cath's head like i thought we would. All in all, I'm just as disappointed in this one as i was with the lunar chronicles final book, Winter. I would only recommend this to fans of Marissa Meyer. I hope the next book of hers i read i will love because it hurts to be disappointed by one of my favorite authors twice in a row:(
