Hazel and Ben were both in love with him as children. It rests right on the ground and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives. Or she did, once.Īt the center of it all, there is a glass coffin in the woods. The faeries’ seemingly harmless magic attracts tourists, but Hazel knows how dangerous they can be, and she knows how to stop them.
Hazel lives with her brother, Ben, in the strange town of Fairfold where humans and fae exist side by side. She can believe she’s found the thing she’s been made for. A girl can look at her brother and believe they’re destined to be a knight and a bard who battle evil.
Children can kill a monster and feel quite proud of themselves. This is Holly Black doing what she does best: with gorgeous prose that flows beautifully, complicated female characters and a story of back and forth, The Darkest Part of the Forest is the author’s newest book and an elaborate modern fairytale that subverts genre expectations.Ĭhildren can have a cruel, absolute sense of justice.
This is a book of tales and curses and love. This is a book of lies and lost memories.
