A review by britterization
The Waking Forest by Alyssa Wees

2.0

I'll post this review on Goodreads and that's it as this one was unfortunately a DNF for me. The language was just too flowery. There were interesting ideas happening, but it never felt coherent - I read about 20% and then just couldn't get past the phrase "syrupy stomachs" (I probably read that sentence like 10 times). At that point, I didn't feel enough (any) attachment to the characters or the possibly some day coming along plot to finish the book. I'll merchandise it, but its unlikely that I'll recommend it often.

Thanks to Netgalley and Delacorte for the opportunity to read The Waking Forest, which will be available for purchase on 12 March.
