If I had to describe this book I'd say it's like if a Hozier song was a book. It has the deep, atmospheric forest imagery, longing, what it means to be human and folklore of a Hozier song. So obviously I loved this. I was so sucked in and could see, feel, and smell everything that was described. The writing was enchanting and warm and although it was short I felt very impacted. Oh god this was a good one

An atmospheric and enjoyable quick read, but one that left me feeling rather confused about this world and how everything in the second part truly happened.

My God” said Silver, “you like my mother.”
Tobias frowned at him.
“But of course you like my mother; she’s nearly as prickly as Bramble. Does she like you?”  Silver peered at him. “She does! Heaven help me, I’ve made a terrible mistake.”

🌳 The Prose! Prose as rich as the ancient forests it describes. Silver in the woods feels like stepping into an old fairy tale—one full of forgotten gods, buried secrets, and the quiet, inevitable pull of destiny.

Also about toxic exes.

🌳 Folklore at its most tender. The beauty of studying myths, and what they reveal about human emotions. 

🌳 Romance as inevitable and natural as the forest itself.  Lingers far beyond its pages.    

🩶 Was over in mere moments - haunting beautiful novellla. Heartbroken that it ended just as I was getting attached, followed by elation upon discovering it’s a Duology. 

🩶 For fans of that one tree side quest in Witcher 3, Emily Wilde Encyclopaedia of faeries, and TJ Klune.
