After the Forest by Kell Woods

lighthearted mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

This was definitely an interesting and engaging story to read, however, it did take quite some time for the plot to become apparent. I struggled to continue the book at the start, but ultimately I am glad that I stuck with it! The characters were all diverse and well-developed, and the narrator did an incredible job at changing her accent to reflect the nationalities of each person! There were quite a few times that I grew frustrated with the main character for not realising something incredibly obvious (such as who the bear was, for example) but in the end, I'm glad that I read this story because it was the perfect blend between light-hearted fairytale and complex adult fiction!
