Description
In The Night Country, Alice Proserpine dives back into a menacing, mesmerizing world of dark fairy tales and hidden doors of The Hazel Wood. Follow her and Ellery Finch as they learn The Hazel Wood was just the beginning, and that worlds die not with a whimper, but a bang.
With Finch’s help, Alice escaped the Hinterland and her reclusive grandmother’s dark legacy. Now she and the rest of the dregs of the fairy tale world have washed up in New York City, where Alice is trying to make a new, unmagical life. But something is stalking the Hinterland’s survivors―and she suspects their deaths may have a darker purpose. Meanwhile, in the winking out world of the Hinterland, Finch seeks his own adventure, and―if he can find it―a way back home...

I already didn't enjoy the first book and so I don't really know why I picked this one up. Same as with the first book I just couldn't get into the flow of the story. No doubt the world building was interesting but to me the writing just couldn't pull me in. Towards the end I mostly skimmed and waited for it to be over. I really love a good and cleverly modern written fairytale story but this was not one of them. 1 star because I do love the cover design. 1/5
This was just as magical and dark as [b:The Hazel Wood|34275232|The Hazel Wood (The Hazel Wood, #1)|Melissa Albert|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1500549460l/34275232._SY75_.jpg|53292100] and I loved it. I've read the last 100 pages so fast and desperately as if it was the water I needed to drink or else I'd die of thirst. I loved the grim, dark atmosphere and the short fairy tales in between. And I liked how the MC was put into place several times. Not that I don't like her, I actually do, but many MCs are portrayed as those flawless, perfect beings I just can't stand. Gladly, Melissa Albert didn't do that. Besides, I really like her writing style and would be happy to read more by her.
sooo I finished the book itself but there are some short stories about finch left which I still need to listen to. It took me some time getting into this book because I just thought that the first book ended perfectly well and didnt need to have a sequel with new drama and all that stuff. That said - I still really enjoyed this, it was exciting and I liked how the story unfolded. I think there are a LOT of plotholes (no wonder with hundreds of parallel worlds and different ways time works) but it is managed well.
