The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert

3.0

The book kept my interest, but I thought the beginning was drawn out longer than necessary while the ending felt awkwardly abrupt. The way the character overcomes the main challenge felt rather simplistic and I didn't think it was well alluded to throughout the rest of the book. The creepy, dark fairytale aspect just didn't quite hit the mark with me, even though I normally like such things. My favorite part of the story was the relationship between the main character and her step sister.
