Publisher Description
Mucho antes de convertirse en el terror del País de las Maravillas, la Reina de Corazones era una chica que tan solo quería enamorarse…
Catherine es una de las jóvenes más deseadas de Corazones. Es la favorita del Rey. Pero ella quiere vivir bajo sus propias reglas y tomar las riendas de su vida. Pero ¿a qué precio?
"Meyer combinó elementos de la oscuridad y de la luz, del destino y del libre albedrío, del amor y del odio, en una historia inolvidable sobre cómo la Reina de Corazones dejó de ser una joven que soñaba con el verdadero amor y la libertad y se convirtió en una cruel mujer a la que todos recuerdan por su frase Que le corten la cabeza".

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Before she was the Queen of Hearts in Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, she was Catherine, the spirited daughter of royalty, destined to wed the King of Hearts but determined to set up shop as a baker with her best friend and longtime maid. In this whimsical standalone tale, readers follow Catherine's simultaneous courtships with the jovial king and his court joker, Jest, whose earnest boyishness makes him far more charming than his royal boss. Caught between her own desires and her mother's stop-at-nothing goal to make her daughter queen, Catherine must decide how much she will risk for a future with Jest. Meyer's Wonderland is a fun and more refined version of Carroll's, and readers will enjoy the obvious parallels. Jest and Catherine have a playfully clandestine relationship, but it's a slow build-up to the inevitable clash between what Catherine wants and what reality demands. Meyer's worldbuilding is extensive and impressive, and the persistent threat of a destructive Jabberwock lends tension, but the story lacks the high-stakes danger that fans of the Lunar Chronicles have come to expect. Ages 12 up.
