Initial Impressions 6/5/16: 4 stars 
 I really appreciated that Marissa Meyer's latest novel was a totally different tone than The Lunar Chronicles! It was great to see something so different while still following in the same vein of a fairy tale adaptation/retelling. 
 Most of my opinions here are personal preference -- Alice in Wonderland has never been a favorite of mine and Heartless really follows the story quite closely, obviously, since it's really a prequel to the classic tale. I was hoping for more of an adaptation like The Lunar Chronicles were, just in the sense that there was more originality and not SO many pieces taken from Alice. It was still rather enjoyable but it's a bit too much whimsy for me.
