The Darkest Part of the Forest

I think out of the recent YA books I've read recently, this one was probably my favourite. The writing was better than ‘Nightfall,' and the world made more sense than ‘Daughters Unto Devils.' It was not perfect, no, but it was more mature than either of those books.

Mostly, I enjoyed the fairy tale elements. The characters are fine. They're likable, but none stood out as a favorite character for me. They aren't strong characters, but they are adequate. Still, I had a lovely time reading this, I was charmed, and I was moved by Ben's storyline. I enjoyed the mystery of the plot, and I really, really, really got into all the folkloric elements.

So, yes, this was a charming book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd read more of Ms Black.
