Fantasy. Young Adult Fiction. HTML:

The first novel in Colleen Oakes's epic, imaginative and twisted series, perfect for fans of Dorothy Must Die and Heartless, tackles the origin of one of the most infamous villainsâ??the Queen of Hearts.

This is not the story of the Wonderland we know. Alice has not fallen down a rabbit hole. This is a Wonderland where beneath each smile lies a secret, each tart comes with a demand, and only prisoners tell the truth.

Dinah is the princess who will one day reign over Wonderland. She has not yet seen the dark depths of her kingdom; she longs only for her father's approval and a future with the boy she loves. But when a betrayal breaks her heart and threatens her throne, she is launched into Wonderland's dangerous political game. Dinah must stay one step ahead of her cunning enemies or she'll lose not just the crown but her head.

Don't miss Blood of Wonderland, the must-read sequel to Dinah's story!… (altro)

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Princess Dinah is preparing to be queen and rule their kingdom alongside her father. Her coronation will be on her eighteenth birthday or so she had hoped. Not only is her father plotting against her, but his aide Cheshire as well (this Cheshire isn’t a cat).

This is a great story that draws you into another world. There’s a slight romantic interest, but nothing comes of it so this is definitely not a romance novel. The characters were so well described that you immediately connect with them. This is a great take on Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts; could we be reading a possibility of how she became evil?

Colleen Oakes has begun an amazing dark fantasy series with Queen of Hearts, one I’m sure everyone will enjoy! I can’t wait to find out what happens in book two.

I didn't know if I would enjoy this or not. While I generally do like retellings this one was iffy from the beginning. It was surprisingly delightful. It held my interest throughout and I am very eager to read more. ( )

I finally finished this YA book. Not any genre I’d normally read, I read this only because it was part of a book challenge I’m doing this year. BUT I liked it! It’s a very good origin story about a royal heroine—and would be a successful story within any genre. I even liked the fantastical elements such as a well-done make-believe animal/character near the end. This appears to be the first in a trilogy. I will keep reading... ( )

Thank you to the publisher and Edelweiss for the ARC!
Similar to Gregory Maguire's creative retelling of children's stories, Colleen Oakes has given us an interesting and imaginative back story for the Queen of Hearts. Just giving the reader enough information to draw them in and leave them wanting more, Oakes weaves a tale of abuse and neglect with the hint and promise of romance to come. I will anxiously await the second book in this new and exciting series. ( )
