Editorial Review

An Amazon Best Book of January 2020: Melissa Albert’s The Hazel Wood first drew us into the Hinterland, her dark fairy tale world come to life. Now her spellbinding sequel, The Night Country, takes readers deeper into the darkness. Alice Proserpine, Alice-Three-Times in her origin story, has left the Hinterland for New York City. She is not alone. Others from the Hinterland are there, too, trying to live as humans in a place they don’t belong. Someone begins killing these storybook characters, but who is doing it, and why? The love story between Alice and the boy Finch shines light and hope into the novel’s shadows, and I sped through the pages of The Night Country, heart in my throat, marveling at each new thread of the story, and hoping none of the characters I loved would die. The Night Country has new fairytales and journeys to follow, and one tale in particular becomes the key to what is happening in both the fading Hinterland and in New York City. Albert has crafted a sequel that can also stand on its own, and for those among us who love a good fairy tale, and a mystery, The Night Country is a dragon’s hoard of riches. —Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review
