![]() ![]() And if you are reading this book right after the quite tightly plotted and tricksy Curse Workers trilogy, the contrast might be marked. ![]() Not every part of the plot makes flawless sense, and if certain characters had just been more forthright with certain other characters, in areas where they had every reason to be, some things could have been resolved more swiftly and more simply. ![]() If you are one to pick nits, there are nits here to be picked. The horned sleeping boy in his glass coffin has awoken, and the humans of Fairfold are under attack. Except that suddenly, all of this has changed. For years and years, the two groups have kept an uneasy kind of peace: The humans leave the faerie folk alone, and the faerie folk confine most of their malice to the tourists who come through Fairfold. Hazel and Ben (both named after famous rabbits) live in a town that the humans share with the faeries. (I mean, I wouldn’t hundred-percent rule that out as a possibility now.) If I were in middle school I would draw hearts around it after writing it in the back of my school notebook. I can’t quote it here, because it’s got all the spoilers, but if you are the sort of person who reads the end, go check it out yourself. The last sentence of Holly Black’s newest book sums up everything I loved about it. ![]()
