The Forest

The Forest is a clever, ambitious book that has women with knives, men with axes, and a forest where you feel like you're going in circles. The characters and dialogue are brilliant, which is expected in Collings' work. The story itself can be a bit difficult to wrap your mind around, and takes more concentrating than I had originally expected. If you want a "Help, something is chasing us through the forest" book, this is that and much more.
