pickBook 3 of #24b4Monday finished. YA darkish fantasy involving time travel and a magic and dangerous wood. Wonderful read. Fast-paced and fun. A good balance of darkness, mystery, and even some levity with the character of Henry trying to adapt to the modern world. GREAT villain, since it gave some insight into his POV and you could understand why he was doing what he did.
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐! This would have been 5, but the ending tore out my heart, so yeah. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Henry (hello, new book boyfriend). And the wood itself is just a fascinating concept. I just really need a sequel so there can be a happy ending!

This book is beautiful, dark, whimsical, and so easy to lose yourself in. I loved the characters, and the plot, but most of all, the setting of The Wood is so stunning! It's magical and mysterious during the day, yet foreboding and eerie at night.
Winter didn't ask to be the guardian of the wood, but when her dad inexplicablyh vanishes, she's the one who must protect travelers who accidentally slip through the wood's portals.
Once brightly colored leaves are now bubbling inky black and creatures that live in the shadows torture lost travelers. Winter must now put her trust in Henry--a young man from 18th century England--in order to find the truth and those they've lost.

Apparently I had this on my bookshelf for almost 5 years without picking it up! Why didn't I read it before? It's an excellent YA fantasy. 2y
