The hazel wood series order

From Harry Potter to Wilkie Collins, Albert provides little Easter eggs for readers that will please bookies and fantasy lovers alike. Melissa Albert achieves an excellent balance between traditional fairy tale elements, modern pop culture references, and intertextuality in The Hazel Wood. But in a sick twist of fate, Alice realizes that her story is only beginning its dark spiral into an uncanny, sinister plot. When the news of Althea’s death reaches Alice and Ella, they both assume their bad luck has finally ended. This is why, at 17 years old, Alice has no notion of home, except within the books she read during her uprooted childhood. They have been on the move constantly, outrunning this omen that has a mysterious link to Alice’s grandmother Althea Proserpine, an elusive dark fantasy writer. Bad luck follows Alice and her mother Ella through life like a fairy-tale destiny.
