I liked her back story of wanting to be a knight, and fighting fairy folk. In effect, she’s more of a legitimate teenager than most female leads are allowed to be. She even kisses a fairy girl at one point and no one seems to care. She kisses boys, lots of them, just for the fun of it. Something I loved about Hazel, and that makes me appreciate Black as an author, is that she isn’t the sheltered innocent that I am sick of seeing in YA books.
He’s a tourist destination, a place for teens to party, and an interesting quirk of their town, but no one seems all that concerned that he might wake, except for Hazel and her brother Ben.
That is, until the relationship sours.īlack begins by introducing us to the fact that there is a horned boy who has been sleeping in a class coffin in the woods for generations. Fairfold is painted with such realism as a town where human and fairy folk are so used to coexisting that it is no longer of much interest. She has a real skill for world building and it shows in The Darkest Part of the Forest. This was my first book by Holly Black, but I am already on to another.
