Physical novella.I loved this... Finch is one of my favorite characters and I'm so glad I got to see a little of his side of the story before the ending of The Hazel Wood... I'm so excited for more in The Night Country!
On the plus side, this novella did put me to sleep, so it did what I wanted it to. But on the other hand, there was nothing I liked about it. At all. And I did like Finch in The Hazel Wood. I did not like the way it was written, and the "plot" I found extremely boring. Oh well.
A good bridge story between the first and the second books. It was nice seeing Ellery's perspective.
I almost didn't realise this was at the tail end of the Hazel Wood audiobook. Bonus! So good.
"it would be an adventure to be stuck in a story."i loved this short and i love finch <3
Fiction NovellaGiven it's a bonus add on for Book 2 preorders I want expecting this to be a involved as a full addition to the series. I did kind of expect more than what's here, though. It's really just a drawn out explanation of getting Alice back from Finch's perspective and could have explored him more or added an adventure we had no idea even happened. But... nope.
came with the audio book, doesn't add much to the original story, it's basically the last chapters told from Finch's perspective, it doesn't really go into what happened after the facts, which is a bit dissapointing
I loved being back in this world and seeing the events through Finch’s eyes. I’ve always been curious on Finch’s motivation and loved learning the reasoning behind it and cannot wait to dive into book 2!
This was a quick, interesting read. I thought this novella was supposed to be from Finch’s point of view over events that happened after The Hazel Wood. Instead, it provides his perspective over some events that already happened in that. I did enjoy learning more about his backstory and motivations though. I have been saving this to read right before The Night Country, so I am hoping I can finally get to it in December.
This is the tale of Ellery Finch and some of his experiences in the Hinterland while Alice was trapped in her own story. Turns out, mostly he was stalking Alice. Just kidding... but not really.
Finch isn’t my favourite character to begin with so having his events of what happened to him in the Hinterlands, didn’t really do anything for me. Whether this adds anything that I will need to know for the second book remains to be seen, I could have done with out this novella and been fine.
I rate this book 3.5 stars. I might change it because I'm still not sure what to rate this book (it's the same with The Hazel Wood).I listened to the audiobook on Libby.I got The Hazel Wood (book 1 in this series) in a Fairy Loot book box in 2018 and I had seen that Owl Crate also had it for that month. It was everywhere. I finished The Hazel Wood yesterday and since this book was only 1h 41m long, I decided to listen to it right away before I forget anything.I was expecting this book to continu...
The Boy Who Didn't Come Home, by Melissa Albert, is a short story found at the end of The Hazel Wood. Ellery Finch, aka Finch, was always a boy fascinated by an imaginary world. By a fairyland spoken on in one exclusive and hard to find collection of short stories. The Hinterland. One day, Finch learned that the world was more real than he could ever have imagined. In that moment, he knew that he was never going to go home. He had found his place in the world, and it wasn't in his world at all.
