Customer Review

In a clearing in the woods is an indestructible glass coffin in which a horned Feenprinz lies in an eternal sleep spell. Nothing can wake him. For generations, the young people of the small village of Fairfold American come on the weekends here to partying, loud music heard, to drink beer and dance on the coffin. Because that borders the world of fairies close to our own, the residents of Fair Folk do not mind. After all, these days even goes a changeling to the local high school.

As children, both Hazel and her brother Ben fell in love with the sleeping Feenprinzen. Armed with sword and flute, they roamed the woods together, they dressed up as knights, Ben Bard and telling each other stories of how they could save the cursed Feenprinzen. A harmless game without any rivalry with each other, because both knew the fairies would never wake up from his sleep.

Meanwhile, Hazel and Ben are almost grown. The games of the past have left behind. While Hazel as a Schmettering of a boy flying to the next, Ben dreams of the one great love. Really happy they're not both.

And then, one morning, the sleeping Feenprinz has disappeared from his glass coffin. Who or what has woken him up, no one knows. And a magical, impossible love suddenly seems to grasp.

But with the awakening of the Prince seems to have ended and the peaceful co-existence between humans and fairies. Fear and terror spread in Fairfold when it comes to getting more terrible magical assaults. And then seems even the monster that lives to open, crush Fairfold the darkest part of the forest.

Together Hazel and her brother do to it to stop the monster and find the Feenprinzen to which they have lost both their hearts

What a great book!

Holly Black's The Darkest Part of the Forest inspires me really across the board, because it is almost perfect: the atmosphere, the beginning, all the characters themselves that end: outstanding!

I already liked Blacks Roman elves daughter, but The Darkest Part of the Forest I love.

The world of fairies is both beautiful and dangerous; There are not only Feenritter in shining armor, but also Rotkappen, dryadenartige tree monsters and dangerous bony virgin Bone Maiden. In shady Waldtympeln deadly Nixie lurking on imprudent hikers. Atmospheric reminds easy to Brenna Yovanoffs Schweigt Still the night, and Holly Black's world much more colorful, less shadowy, less morbid, and it is as magical Yovanoffs. Provide a more adult version of their Spiderwick World.

Particularly impressed I was by the spelling, of the lightness and ease with the Holly Black both enchanted otherworld describes as also deals with the fact that Ben is gay. Neither Hazel nor their parents or his best friend Jack is a problem.

Jack is one of the supporting characters that you close to the heart immediately. He is actually a changeling, but was lovingly raised by his human mother and takes in the second half of the novel a central position.

In general, it's great as Holly Black manages to let her act in the second part of the novel again hit several unexpected hacking. This is exciting and surprising to the end and makes even The Darkest Part of the Forest, a standing for themselves novel is wanting more!

The world of fairies is magical and dangerous. Let you attract into the realm of Alder Kings by Holly Black, deep into the darkest part of the forest!

For Feenfans a must-read!
