ally_rb 's review for:

The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
2.5

mixed feelings - really enjoyed the beginning, the writing was easy and was having a good time with the mystery of what was the hazel wood. However once we got to the hazel wood and the plot started to unravel but not in a good way. It felt very confusing at times and explanation and world building was lacking. It also wrapped up so abruptly, it felt odd. 

I also didn't really love the main character - was at times quite mean and unlikable. Which when you get the ending I suppose you understand why but still it was rough being in her head at times. 

disappointed because the concept of the story was so promising, I just wish it was executed better.
