Its claim to fame is a fae boy who sleeps in a glass coffin. I think the message is also different- CRUEL PRINCE was primarily about love and power, and how those two things can come into conflict when pride enters the mix, but THE DARKEST PART OF THE FOREST is a story about growing up and living your dreams.īen and Hazel are siblings who live with their hands-off parents in a town called Fairfold that borders the lands of the fae. There are two romances, instead of just one main couple, and one of them is LGBT+ (M/M). It's a little different, though it's written in third person, with a tone that makes it feel like it's for a younger audience. Published in 2015, it kind of reads as a "proto-CRUEL PRINCE" with a heroine that's a lot like Jude and a hero who seems a bit like a nicer version of Cardan. I bought this when it was on sale a while back, right around the time that I had finished The Folk of the Air trilogy.
