I’m afraid Silver is just not as compelling as a POV character. He’s kind of whiny! Granted his whining is somewhat justified, but it’s a contrast from Tobias’ stoicism. 

Maud, on the other hand, was great, and while it probably wouldn’t have worked with the plot, I wish the story could have been from her POV instead. 

Overall, not quite as well-put-together as the first book, but still worth reading as a follow-up.

DNF 
Just faded away into the background, I wasn't particularly in the story and just kind of forgot about it and never finished it... I really wanted to like the second book more because I was a bit disappointed I didn't love the first book, and I read this sequel was very different and better. And I do think it was, I like the change of perspective, and it was a bit funny in the plot too. But still, didn't grab me. Oh well

an ideal novella—forest mythology meets vampires and fairies in the most atmospheric space—simultaneously a historical fantasy and a slow, deep romance—absolutely delightful in every way
