The Darkest Part of the Forest

De: Holly Black

Narrado por: Lauren Fortgang

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.

Beautiful

This is my favorite book of all time. I reread it every year. Highly recommended!!

UGH!!

Okay, so I only discovered the author because of my friend, but I love how she writes.

I didn't want to read this book because it didn't really relate to Carden and Jude, but I am glad I did. I feel as if this needs a second book to help explain a bit more about Jack...

Amaizing Book

This was a great book. Holly Black never ceases to amaze me and this work was no exception.

Cute Story- Awesome Narration!

Fans of YA fiction like Mortal Instruments and Divergent will love this cute fairytale re-telling! This narrator is fantastic- 2nd series I've heard by her and she's still surprising me with new accents!

typical Holly Black
