A girl makes a secret sacrifice to the faerie king in this lush New York Times bestselling fantasy by author Holly Black In the woods is a glass coffin. It rests on the ground, and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives.... Hazel and her brother, Ben, live in Fairfold, where humans and the Folk exist side by side. Since they were children, Hazel and Ben have been telling each other stories about the boy in the glass coffin, that he is a prince and they are valiant knights, pretending their prince would be different from the other faeries, the ones who made cruel bargains, lurked in the shadows of trees, and doomed tourists. But as Hazel grows up, she puts aside those stories. Hazel knows the horned boy will never wake. Until one day, he does... As the world turns upside down, Hazel has to become the knight she once pretended to be. The Darkest Part of the Forest is bestselling author Holly Black's triumphant return to the opulent, enchanting faerie tales that launched her YA career.
This book was great. it had everything I wanted in a book like this. It had mystery, love, betrayal, monsters. The characters were great to get to know and each one had their own quirks and things you liked and disliked about them. Overall it was a great read and I couldn't put it down so that was a plus.
5/5

This book is everything I wanted it to be and more. It's full of creepy plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat and characters that are easy to relate to and love. Great October read and definitely a new favorite!

Not your typical Prince saves the Princess in distress story, in fact, it’s quite the opposite but in a very interesting, imaginative and fun way!
