Read this one about a year ago and didn’t really like the ending, but upon revisiting it and knowing what kind of book to expect, I quite enjoyed it this time around. Followed along with the audiobook narrated by Matthew Lloyd Davies, whose voice and narration style was perfect for this book. Overall a lovely little atmospheric novella of the forest and folklore.

I don’t think I’ve been this stunned by a book in long time. Silver in the Wood took my breath away with its soft and creeping story. A magical forest, a cottage in the woods, a cute cat, dryads for friends, and a little bit of monster hunting. This is a book that cottagecore dreams are made of.
Silver in the Wood is like a fairytale daydream that’s gone just a little bit wrong. It was absolutely lovely and creepy and somehow comforting all in the same breath. I loved Tobias and Henry. They were so soft with each other and Henry’s flirting was so cute and sweet. I also loved Bramble the dryad! I liked that Bramble was so protective of her sort-of-human friend and she just wanted him to go and grow and do people things.
This book was like being hugged by the woods. It was just such a magical and whimsical read and now I want more books like this. Silver in the Wood is getting a solid five stars. And I would highly recommend this if you love wild places and the things that live in them.

Oh my god. This is one of my favourite reads of the year. If this book is on your TBR, go read it now. It is so short and fast paced, I read it all in a few sittings throughout one day. This book is everything whimsical and earthy and green and good. Rich with folklore and lush natural descriptions. A small but intriguing cast of characters. Mystery, magic, dryads, an ever-changing forest. You will fall in love with this story and with Tobias Finch. Beautiful, just beautiful.

This fantasy novella inspired by folk tales of the Green Man is absolute perfection to my eyes. I sigh happy sighs every two sentences, the characters are sweet and proud at the same time, there's a cat and an opinionated oldish lady. Perfection.
Rep: gay characters.
