I really liked the first book so i was very excited about the sequel. I really enjoyed this book and I was very entertained throughout. I will be recommending this series to my library patrons and my friends. Great book!

This book was received as an ARC from Flatiron Books in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I am a fan of fairy tale books and traveling throughout each story just like the Book Jumper, Inkheart, and Jumanji and this book definitely fit in as well. A lot of our patron did love The Hazel Wood and enjoyed every page and I know they will not be disappointed with The Night Country. This book was filled with action, drama, conflict and excitement that will leave you at the edge of your seat and wanting to jump into the book and take the journey with Finch and Alice in searching for a way back home. Our teen book club will love this book and will read it in one sitting cover to cover.

We will consider adding this title to our YFiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Being a big fan of the first book Hazelwood, and a die-hard fairytale fan, I can say this was well worth the wait! To see what happens to Alice was the highlight of my week! I have personally hand sold Hazelwood to YAs and Adults in my store, and cannot wait till the release to push this book. Out of all the retellings close or loose I have come across, Melissa Albert weaves a beautiful tapestry for Alice's story.
