In the town of Fairfold, where humans and fae exist side by side, a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives awakes after generations of sleep in a glass coffin in the woods, causing Hazel to be swept up in new love, shift her loyalties, feel the fresh sting of betrayal, and to make a secret sacrifice to the faerie king.

Review of 'The Darkest Part of the Forest' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Well written fairy-tale. Holly Black likes to take damaged children and twist them into heroines/heroes. Parents vary from absent, through negligent to malign. American mall rats are transformed into knights and make love to princes. The route to fairy-land is paved with the broken glass of a large number of vodka bottles.
