OOOOOK. I'm still not exactly sure how I feel about this book, so I'll probably edit this review later. That may include changing my rating to five stars, but we'll see. 
 (view spoiler)[ Most of the four star rating is due to the fact that the ending was upsetting. YES, I KNOW, it's pretty goshdarned obvious that it doesn't end well, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to be upset about it. 
 But also, I got kind of pissed off at Cath. WHY WAS SHE SOOOOOO STUPID!!!!!!!!!!! 
 Three Sisters: "Don't go through any doors on the way through the Looking Glass or your boyfriend will meet a decapitition-y end, that other guy will go crazy, and you'll be sad. So don't do it" 
 Cath: "No I'm gonna do it" 
 CATHERINE WHY. 
 Anyways. The ending felt wierd. I didn't cry, or even get all that sad, just kind of upset. Also, I felt Cath changed from being happy and optimistic to I-HATE-EVERYTHING-I-HATE-YOU-I-HATE-YOUR-DOG waaaay to fast. (hide spoiler)] 
 I really liked the first 370 or so pages of this book. It was whimsical, but with a hint of darkness, very reminiscent of the orignal Lewis Carrol book is was based off of/inspired by. 
 It's extremely engaging, and it never lags, which is also very nice. I mostly liked the main character, but I had a few problems with her (but they're spoilers and discussed above.) 
 So once again, I'll probably add to/edit this review, but as of now I definitely liked Heartless enough to want to give the Lunar Chronicles another try.
