I love the new interpretations of books or movies. This is why I love Marissa Meyer and her imagination on showing us her adjustments on classics. By classics I mean the princesses and in this one the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. I believe I would love this book if I have read the original books first. I've tried to visualize everything by the movies I've seen, so it wasn't a success.
I loved it because I love the evaluation of someone from good to bad, especially if someone is an old cruel queen that we all hate. the adventures she went through were the imagination of a person out of its original writer, a person like me, you, anybody. So these are not the truth according to Lewis Carol. But it's fiction, so everything is the truth here.
So why I disliked it?
Things were described in detail but at the same time I've realized that nothing was described. The world that as a reader we supposed to go into has lots of tea parties and a dumb king that shows up in every occasion to ask for hand in marriage. We can read what kind a material the girls dress has, we can read the colors of the flowers in the garden but there is no descriptipon of the general world. There are some characters that are currently living on Hearts, or Chess, or wherever it is. That's all the writer makes us know. Maybe I had to read the original books so I wouldn't need an explanation over a world that I couldn't get into.
The characters were okay. I started liking Jest when writer changed the ropes she was holding, then the relationship between Cath and Jest went from mysterious to sickly in love. They had to fall in love for us to get a cruel queen but everything happened too fast. Once she was dreaming about him then she started kissing him.
Adding to these, women was underrated. They had to marry, they couldn't own bussiness in the eyes of people. Cath's family drove me crazy, I couldn't stand them. So these conditions are the least ones I like.
After all it revived hope in me.
After all it showed me again that everyone had madness, everyone could be the villain. Even the girl whose hobby was baking once. The girl who loved to decorate cakes and create deserts and make people happy with them.
