Sinossi
Hazel e il fratello Ben sono cresciuti a Fairfold, una piccola città dove, da tempo, gli umani hanno imparato a convivere pacificamente con le creature fatate della vicina foresta. Un posto diventato meta di tanti turisti curiosi, attratti dalle magie che qui hanno luogo ma in particolare dal ragazzo con le corna che riposa dentro una bara di vetro, la meraviglia più grande di tutte. Affascinati fin da bambini da questa presenza misteriosa, Hazel e Ben hanno provato più e più volte a immaginarne la storia. Nelle loro fantasie il giovane era a volte un principe dal cuore nobile e dalla natura buona e generosa, e altre un essere crudele e spietato. Ora che è cresciuta, però, Hazel pensa che sia arrivato il momento di accantonare tutte quelle fantasie infantili accettando il fatto che, per quanto lo abbia desiderato a lungo con tutta se stessa, il ragazzo con le corna non si sveglierà mai. Un giorno, però, quello che sembrava impossibile accade... sconvolgendo la vita della ragazza, di suo fratello e della loro città. Fiaba moderna dalle sfumature dark, "Nel profondo della foresta" segna il ritorno di Holly Black ai romanzi delle origini che l'hanno fatta conoscere, e amare, dai lettori.

Oh book, you make it so difficult to rate you. The thing about Holly Black is that she writes in very different styles. Before I read White Cat , I tried the first of her Faerie books - Tithe - (really didn't get into it), and her Spiderwick Chronicles (cute kids books but not really my thing). Then I Leggi tutto

This book is about evil fairies and subverting genre expectations . SUBVERTING TROPES AND BLENDING BINARIES It took me a long time to figure out why, exactly, this book captivated me so much. Yes, it's definitely a solid read, but what made this a five-star-favorite-book-ever read? I think
Down a path worn into the woods, past a stream and a hollowed-out log full of pill bugs and termites, was a glass coffin. It rested right on the ground, and in it slept a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives. First time reading Holly Black and I'm not disappointed. I was a bit
