My Review 5 Headless Cards
This book will knock your socks off and hats off (if you wear them) while you are wisked away to Wonderland! In a higher teen ya tale of Dinah the further Queen of Hearts and her journey.
I really loved this book Dinah really pulls on the heart strings. She really isn't what everyone around her thinks a princess should be like. She really reminded me of Elisa in The Girl of Fire and Thorns before she made the trip across the desert. (sorry light spoiler) She was all about food etc. But then when the unthinkable happens she is wicked away to fend for her life.
Although the romance in this one is very light I really hope we get more in book two. (review posting tomorrow)
I just can't express how much happens in this book this author just did an amazing job bringing you into a world that most of us (30 year olds) grew up with. Ive been a die hard fan of retellings forever and to be able to have this one done so well well I just have to say that you need to go buy this one!!
The world building is great with new and old things represented. The characters are all human so no white rabbits hopping around. Although I did love the one person who represented him and would laugh any time he would scream at Dinah about being late.
