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.
