Silver in the Woods was super out of my comfort zone. I didn’t look to see how long it was before I started reading it. I was disappointed that it was so short, but, as I’ve never read anything like it before, it ended up being a good thing. I don’t know that it would have kept my interest if it had been much longer. I’m typically a thriller and historical fiction fan, so this was a nice introduction into something more mystical.

The slight romance was such a tease! I wanted more! The romance was honestly what kept me reading. There was so much of this book that I didn’t really understand, probably because I’m not used to reading mystical fantasy, so the romantic undertones were easier for my brain to latch onto.

Tesh is a brilliantly skilled writer. Her words were beautiful to read, the mystery well constructed, and the characters easy to love.

I enjoyed this book enough that I plan to read the sequel, though it’s not at the top of my list to recommend to others. As far as “out of your comfort zone” books go, I’m glad I read this. I probably won’t think about it for years to come, though.

If you’re looking for mysterious fantasy with a Springtime vibe that you can finish very quickly, this book is for you!

I thought the prose, atmosphere, and the

loneliness aspect of the main character

were executed well, but if you take the setting/environment aside, it felt like a typical romance book, nothing new. Really enjoyable up to the first half, but then it took a nosedive with how fast things progressed, especially before the ending so that things could be wrapped up. Would have been excellent if fleshed out a little further. I liked it overall but ultimately forgettable.
