Why read it?
2 authors picked Heartless as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love retold fairy tales and stories, and this one is an excellent retelling of Alice in Wonderland, one of my favorite classic novels.

He always strives to do what’s right, even at the expense of his own happiness. Jest, Raven, Cath, and Hatta refuse to leave me long after I finished reading, and I’m not upset about it.
From Vanessa's list on with characters you’d want in your crew.
