The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black
3.0
Loved the characters. Didn't love the plot, really.
The Darkest Part of the Forest has some of the most interesting, well-written characters of any book I've ever read. The characters and the character interactions were probably what kept me reading this.
I'm not sure what it was about the plot. Generally I love folklore and fairy tales but this just felt really off to me. Maybe it was the characters didn't really mesh well with the ideas of the plot...
The writing style was enchanting, too, but it felt really exclusionary, if that makes sense. I felt like I was watching the events through a glass ball, not really allowing any place to actually sense and feel the setting or the emotions of the characters.
I did love the diversity in this novel though. Always a plus.
