![]() Holly Black‘s prose is beautiful, with just enough lyrical description to appreciate her wordsmith skills but not so heavy-handed that the pace suffers. ![]() ![]() For me to finish Darkest Part in just over two weeks speaks volumes to how much I enjoyed it-it was simply devoured. I’m a notoriously slow reader, averaging one standard 350-page book a month. This is perhaps one of the quickest novels I have ever read. What a wonderful thing personal growth is! I had no interest in magical realism or the blurring of lines between our world and others. I have to confess, ten years ago, I never would have picked up this book: I was strictly a high-fantasy or slice-of-life contemporary literature kind of girl. Stunning cover art is just one of the many positives about this book.Īfter a dismal run of DNF and one-star reads, Holly Black‘s The Darkest Part of the Forest was a pure delight. ![]()
