I'm officially done with Colleen Oakes. Wendy Darling has been sitting on my nightstand for over 3 months. I haven't made it past chapter 3. The cover is gorgeous. The premise is alluring. The writing is so beautiful and yet so painfully dense that I cannot force myself to move on. Reading each chapter feels like you've read an entire book in which very little movement in the plot occurs. So, with that knowledge, I happily embraced Queen of Hearts! Loved the premise and I loved a lot of the world building. However...nothing happens. This book is 95% description of surroundings and 5% plot points. It's painful and you could literally read 1 sentence per page and never lose hold of the characters or story. It pains me to say this, but alas, I speak the truth! I would love to know what happens in this story, but I cannot spend my precious time wading through another 300 pages of nothing to see what could've been a fascinating plot barely inch forward in the most crippled way possible. I'm so very sad. 
 Book Summary below: 
 SPOILERS 
 1. Dinah sulks 
 2. Dinah's half sister Vittiore is introduced. 
 3. Dinah receives a message and seeks answers. 
 4. No answers are found. 
 5. The King kills Dinah's brother and frames her. 
 6. Dinah escapes. 
 The end. Nothing is answered. Nothing is resolved. If all of this had happened in the first 100 pages, this book would have been enthralling!!! And this ends my scorn. This woman is beyond an excellent writer. She is so very talented! But it's all wasted on stories that tell no story at all!
