My obsession with The Hazel Wood went pretty much 0 to 100 in zero seconds flat. Lock and latch, do up to the catchĪnd pray that your aloneThere's someone (something?) killing the Hinterland survivors.Īhhh! I am SO happy to have read this one. Here's a story I don't like to tell.And now, just when she's set to live out a normal life.the Hinterland rears its ugly head. And Alice became trapped back into her story, Ellery Finch stole her twice to bring her back.
Her mother, stole her once from the story and raised her in the real world. Why are you pretending to be a mouse?"Three-times Alice struck terror into the hearts of those in her story.but she was trapped - doomed - to live out her short, miserable life again and again. Thanks to NetGalley and Flatiron Books to share this surprisingly dark and interestingĪRC COPY with me in exchange my honest review.Ī new BookTube Video is Up all about whether you should buy, borrow or burn 2020 YA books! Let me know what you think! 4.5 stars So this half cup of my Chardonnay and I know the author has full capacity pour more wine to my cup to fill it completely. And of course this book is sooo sooo and sooo much better than the first one. But I enjoyed the writing and the author’s creativity and braveness to bring out more darkness and wilder elements into equation and form a satisfying retelling of well-known fairy tales universe. I still have trouble for the direction of the story and progression of the characters’ stories. The author’s remarkable evil genius capacity to see the dark side of the stories and twist the entire fairy tales we’d been told when were children, are fantastic and too much creepy way of unique story-telling. (Actually at this book their relationship named to something but I don’t know if I like this definition or hate it.) I still have problems about Alice’s complex, unbalanced, weird character development and her indecisive relationship with Finch. Of course instead of getting lost at the horrifying labyrinth of Hazel Wood, focusing on dark fairytales was great move of the author. And another interesting fact during my read: I honestly wanted this book a little bit longer. I still went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars but 3.5 rounded up again to 4. It is so obvious that I didn’t enjoy the first book and I didn’t foresee my request would be accepted but one morning I checked my library and here we go I got this sequel and I firstly admit, WHAT AN ARTISTIC, AMAZING COVER reflects book’s darkness approach to the fairytales.Īnd you know what! I surprisingly enjoyed this one more. No need to talk about the elephant in the room.
