![]() ![]() ![]() The story opens with the town’s teenagers partying around a glass casket in the woods where a horned prince lays in an enchanted sleep. The Darkest Part of the Forest follows two teenage siblings, Hazel and Ben, who live in a town riddled with Faerie issues. Written a few years before Folk of the Air, it was fun to see how Black was playing around with the themes and premises that she later expanded and perfected in Folk of the Air. The Darkest Part of the Forest did not disappoint, and I blew through it in a day. So I turned to Holly Black, whose Folk of the Air trilogy I gobbled up in about 72 hours over Thanksgiving break. After the herculean doorstop that was Brandon Sanderson’s Way of Kings, I needed a fast, fun, and gripping read. ![]()
