The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert

3.0

When I started reading I expected a lot more of The Hazel Wood. The promise of the fairytale land welcoming a girl from the outside... but everything felt a bit rushed. I love the concept and I like dark and twisted fairy tales, but there was something that prevented me from falling in love with the story. It's not a bad story, mind you, it's just not mind-blowing and related to fairy tales and writing and reading and books, I would have loved something a bit more.
Though I will continue reading the series, sometime in the future. Probably.
