The Waking Forest by Alyssa Wees
3.0
3.5/5
This is a strange little book. Not in a bad way, no, but it will definitely not be everyone’s cup of tea. I am one of the few who actually enjoyed the purple prose but I must admit that there were times where I had to reread a passage or page because I was slightly confused as to what was going on. The ending seemed to wrap up pretty quickly which is why I rated this 3 stars instead of rounding up to 4. I think it would’ve been great as a duology! I enjoyed Rhea and the other girls a lot so to have them more fleshed out would have been fantastic and I think a second book could’ve done that. However, I did enjoy The Waking Forest and I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us in her next book.
Thank you Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
