Well there was just too much happening in this standalone. I loved the idea of a world where fairies stand alongside humans and magic is real. It was also interesting to hear how our history and music stayed the same so you get some funny pop-culture comments here and there. That said, Hazel and Ben...
For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleI really enjoyed this book. First of all, the whole concept of sharing a town/forest with fey is fascinating. I loved reading about all of Hazel's adventures in the woods and the weird goings-on in Fairfold. I found the characters to be interesting and...
This was great fun! I loved the way Black plays with some of the more common tropes in YA. To begin with, this is a standalone. That almost never happens in YA anymore and I appreciate that it's a whole story even though I do love the world building. Then it's also about faeries. I'm not one for fae...
I'm finding that I am just not a big fan of Holly Black. I didn't love The Coldest Girl in Coldtown as I found it boring whereas most people loved it. The same goes to The Darkest Part of the Forest, its just boring. I almost didn't finish listening to it. Hazel and her brother Ben live in a town...
Spoiler Rating: High-ish Dear Lizzie, This could be a very short letter; it'd read Yep, your review's spot on, followed by my thanks for saving me the trouble of having to type it up myself. Because really, you covered my thoughts perfectly. But that'd feel like cheating (and wouldn't involve ...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: A good premise, with some fairytale tropes nicely upended and moments of respectable prose, but as with The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, I found that the execution felt jumbled upon reflection--especially the unfolding o...
This was a good book. On goodreads standard I have to rate it a 3/5, however, on normal standards it's a 4/5. I really liked how this book was about fairies. The world was well described. The lore was interesting and kept me intrigued on how it related to the story. The writing was decent. Flowed we...
This was lovely and unexpected in several ways. Hazel and Ben were a rather charming pair of siblings, and I really felt for both of them. Their problems stemmed from a lack of proper communication in a lot of ways, and that often bothers me quite a bit, but in this it felt appropriate and normal....
OH MY GOD. THIS WAS AMAZING. *cue ecstatic squealing* I was really looking forward to this and I'm so glad it wasn't disappointing. (warning; this is mostly me rambling about how brilliant this book is. I'll try to write a more eloquent review later, when I've stopped fangirling) This was a dark...
