Silver in the Wood
by Emily Tesh
Mini-review of this charming and atmospheric queer novella duology about a quiet man, Tobias Finch, who lives and is the wood meeting a charming man, Henry Silver, who researches folklores.
There is a Wild Man who lives in the deep quiet of Greenhollow, and he listens to the wood. When Greenhollow Hall acquires a handsome, intensely curious new owner in Henry Silver, everything changes. Tobias is forced to reckon with his troubled past—both the green magic of the woods, and the dark things that rest in its heart.
In the first book, Silver in the Wood, you are in Tobia's POV which is eerily quiet and solemn. He has a steady heart and not easily startled so reading his story is like treading water. I love the way Tobias just lets things happen in his POV and how nothing really phases him. This is a tender love story not quite blossoming with a secure man experiencing it all and just sighing and wanting to go home to his cat.
"Tobias tried to think about Silver's bright enthusiasm, his pale eyes sparkling under the fall of his brown curls, rather than about the story. He knew the story. Of course he did."
The first book is just a little over 100 pages so it's a great introduction to Greenhollow and the characters before you dive into the second book, Drowned Country. (Which I personally enjoyed more since I'm a plot girly)
