Prabhjot Kaur's Reviews > The Darkest Part of the Forest

A story about the faerie world written by Holly Black. I knew that I would have liked this so
I went into this expecting great things but came out really disappointed.

Hazel and Ben live in a town alongside the faerie folk. Ever since they were kids, they have been visiting a boy asleep in a glass coffin. As far as anyone knows that boy has been asleep in that coffin for a very long time. Then one day, the boy in the glass coffin wakes up and everything goes awry.

The blurb sounded fascinating and the story itself was quite interesting and the characters were quite different too not to mention that I had read and heard great things about this gripping and very dark tale of the Faerie world and in the beginning I had really liked it but it quickly took a completely wrong turn in the forest and instead of a dangerous, delicious and amazing things all I got was disappointment after disappointment. I still kept on reading this thinking that it will get better and that maybe we were working towards a great finale but it just didn't work. All those promises and they fell short for me.
