3.0

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.

“But to feel as mortals felt—to laugh as mortals laughed, and look up under the eyelashes, and sing old songs to the plucked strings of a whatever-it-was—
Tobias was a fool and always had been.
He groaned and stood up. When he looked up, he found it was pitch dark. Time has softened around him the way it so often did. Maybe that was the wood’s version of pity.”
