A review by chelseazhao
After the Forest by Kell Woods
Did not finish book. Stopped at 52%.
I really really tried with this one.
I loved the idea of a continuation of Hansel and Gretel. A reimagining, if you will.
However, I'm bored. I'm over 1/2 way in and nothing has really happened. The writing is taking forever. I'm sure it's beautiful, but that's not a big deal for me. I don't feel any connection to the characters. And the fantasy aspects and very few. This feels more like a historical story right now because they keep mentioning a war that has been happening. And not even a fantasy one.
I'm done.
