A true fairy tale. Completely captivated me, I was so wrapped up in it all. Absolutely one of my favorite things I've read in a long time, will be recommending it.

The prose is rich, the love story is tender, and the atmosphere is palpable. It feels like you are travelling deeper and deeper into a dense, thriving wood.

The novel does explore social isolation, especially within small towns, and what it is like to be a pariah to a community you once belonged to.reebeee's review

A beautiful little novella, which manages to fit vivid characters, descriptions, and world-building into its short length. Somewhat darker than I expected, like an old, old fairytale—which is part of its mastery, I think. A wonderful way to spend a cozy evening.

This was a cute, quick, little story. I loved the atmosphere/vibe of the story (and the cover fits it perfectly, imo). I liked the characters, but in some ways I found the side characters more compelling than the MCs. The romance could have been stronger too. What was there seemed a bit rushed, and most of it only existed at the beginning and the end, with very little in between. My other main gripe with this novella was that the structure of the writing style was odd at times and sometimes made it unnecessarily confusing to read.

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.
