In the forest there is a prince asleep in a glass coffin.
Jaimie J. - 5 years 4 months agoWe meet brother and sister, Ben and Hazel, at a typical high school party: booze, dancing, kissing classmates. Atypical is the glass coffin in the middle of this party which holds a sleeping prince with pointed ears and horns. For all the time they've lived in Fairfold, the prince has never woken, until, one night, he does, unfolding adventure, struggle, and the fight against The Darkest Part of the Forest. The greatest part of this book is Hazel who embodies all the fight and triumph of a true heroine. The Darkest Part of the Forest has beautiful prose, fascinating characters, and unforgettable enemies. It's a book you'll never want to end, and Hazel is a protagonist that you'll never want to leave.
