Queen of Hearts Volume 2: The Wonder by Colleen Oakes Book Review



Volume Two of the Queen of Hearts Saga

An Exiled Princess. An Ancient Tribe. A Dangerous Stranger with Unknown Loyalties.
Dinah, the former Princess of Wonderland Palace, has been chased into the wilds of Wonderland after the brutal murder of her brother and the ruin of her impending crown. Now, as her half-sister Vittiore sits on the throne beside her Father, the brutal King of Hearts, Dinah finds herself alone in the forbidding Twisted Wood with only Morte, a homicidal beast, for company.
Hunted by the King and his army of Cards, Dinah struggles to evade those who long for her head, including Cheshire, the King’s clever advisor, who is slowly tightening his grasp around her. Spurred on by her rising terror, the former Princess finds herself at the center of a web of conspiracy reaching far beyond the Palace and deep into the mysterious Yurkei mountain tribes.
Even with the balance of an entire Kingdom at stake, Dinah knows something that her allies and enemies do not: that the most dangerous conflict of all has already begun as she battles the rage that beckons her ever closer as love slips further from her grasp.
The second book in the bestselling and award-winning Queen of Hearts Saga, The Wonder takes readers back to the most wondrous and curious places in Wonderland, and continues this darkly addictive tale featuring one of the most infamous villains of all time.
But be warned…not every fairy tale has a happy ending.
This is the story of a princess who became a villain.
My review:
I just finished reading Queen of Hearts and I really liked the story line. It is supposed to be a young adult book but adults who like fantasy novels would also enjoy it.  It is a little different from other YA books that I have read.  I did think however, that it was a little drawn out. I give this book a 4/5.  I cannot wait until the next part comes out. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
