![]() It feels kind of like a different time there, where people believe in superstitions and are warned what to do and not to do around the faeries if you were to ever come across one. It’s a modern fantasy without being a modern fantasy, if that makes sense. Fairfold is set in modern times within modern places (Philadelphia is mentioned a few times), but it’s like it’s own little world in itself. ![]() ![]() The first thing I noticed was the world-building. This was my first time reading Holly Black’s writing and I found it quite enjoyable along with the plot and all of the characters. I was drawn between giving this novel either a three or four stars out of five, and as I thought about it I became inclined to give it closer to a four. They eventually grew out of this, like all children do, but what happens when the horned boy sleeping in a glass coffin finally awakens? What happens when Hazel and Ben get wrapped up in the mess? ![]() ![]() Siblings Hazel and Ben Evans used to tell stories of this horned boy when they were little: how he was their prince and that they always had to either rescue or stop him as a knight and bard. It’s also a place of tourism, and deep in the forest the greatest attraction is a horned boy sleeping in a glass coffin. The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black is almost like a fairy tale-or should I say faerie tale? The setting takes place in a town called Fairfold, and in this town faeries and humans live together in almost harmony. ![]()
