This one had a few shades of The Bear and the Nightingale and if I remember right this one was in The Hazel Wood as well. We have ‘The Door that Wasn’t There’ in which Anya and her sister Lisbeth find a way out of their house where the stepmother has locked them but their escape turns out to be very different from what they expected. This is a collection of twelve stories-each very dark, and many with a twist that one doesn’t see coming. Tales from the Hinterland is that collection of stories. Alice soon connects this with a collection of dark fairy tales her grandmother Althea Proserpine had written, and with that begins her adventure looking for Hinterland where the tales are set. This was the story of Alice, living an itinerant life with her mother till the day her mother disappears. One of the first books I was approved for when I joined NetGalley in 2018 was The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert.
