The Darkest Part Of The Forest
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow, I really love how Holly Black is able to cross Faerie with the modern world. When things like McDonald’s and phones come up. It’s just fascinating how the two different worlds exists together in this story.
A very beautiful story that I hope I will hold on to for a while!

Holly Black does such a good job of creating a world with some paranormal/fantasy elements mixed in! The characters were enjoyable, as was the storyline. Such a good fairy book!

I felt the idea of the book was great. Amazing cover. However I found this book hard to get into. Well maybe not get into but stay into. I'd manage to submerse myself into it only to be drawn back out a couple minutes later. Plot is good and so is description but the execution of the book in general not so great.
However I loved the idea and what I managed to get into and stay into was great which is why I'm giving it four stars. Her writing style is obviously an acquired taste and I simply haven't acquired it. So it wouldn't be fair in my mind to give it any less but I didn't absolutely love it so it's not a five star. For me it's more or less an 3.5 stars. If only my phone allowed me to rate it that way.

amazing! it was really interesting to read this book after reading the cruel prince, some characters in that trilogy have cameos in this book and it explains a few minor details that were in the wicked king and queen of nothing.
I really loved the characters in this book, they were really well written! There are main queer characters who’s storyline doesn’t entirely revolve around their sexuality which i really enjoyed! because it’s a common issue where a lot of authors don’t put much depth into their lgbtq+ and/or BIPOC characters and just write them as a way to add diversity points.
The plot was really good and interesting to see unfold, I just really love the way Holly Black writes books.

Wow. Whimsical, fantastical. Full of darkness and horror at the unknown powers that live just outside of human lives. But still maintaining a thread of hope and goodness/humanity.

I listened to the audio while following along in ebook ...
To say I just read this after finishing The Folk of the Air and The Stolen Heir series ... wow!
This is just as good as that!
I loved the way Holly Black can lure you into a magical world ... making you want to be there.
If you have NOT read the series mentioned, then get on it. The beautiful horned prince reminds me of Oak ✨️
