The Hazel Wood

Before I get into the book review, I need to talk about the book cover. I have the green softcover version and I LOVE it. I love me some kick ass artwork.

As for the book, it is a yes from me. The first half was slow but not dead or boring. I certainly wanted to continue and see what was up. Maybe it shouldn't have been slow for that much of the book but it was, and I kept reading so I won't take points off for that. After that things really kicked off and it got a bit dark and twisty which is how I like my fairy tales. It also didn't end on a cliffhanger which, being honest, I seem to have gotten used to. So that was refreshing. But there's a second book so clearly some thing more happens.

None of the characters stole my heart and soul...which is fine. I don't go into every book looking to leave with a new book boyfriend or girlfriend so it's okay. That doesn't mean that I hated them. I didn't. They were just okay to me. PLUS I really enjoyed reading some of the Tales from the Hinterland stories!! I don't know why I yelled that. But such is my excitement.
