Welcome to Litsy!

A cozy fantasy adventure romance between Tobias the mythical “Wild Man” of the woods and Silver, the new gentleman who moved into the local manor. #mtTBR

4.8⭐️so I had decided to read a bunch of short books in December to meet my reading goal; however, it didn‘t happen. So I moved a lot of them to January, and I still needed to move some over to this month. This was one of those books, and it‘s much better than some that I have read recently. While not a five star, it was excellent and looking forward to reading book two next month.

Ohh. This was just beautiful. I listened to this on audio book and this was truly beautiful

Don‘t mind me, just reading some sweet little stories to get out of my 2023 slump. This was nice and soft and squishy, like a good moss. If I weren‘t currently in a winter hellscape I‘d go outside and take in the trees. But alas, winter has finally reared is frigid head.

This was a short gorgeous novella about ancient forests, quiet magic, dark magic, with a sprinkling of unexpected romance and a heavy dose of realising how unfathomably old the land you‘re standing on is. I really really liked it but it was also so short it felt a little insubstantial- I‘d have loved it to be twice as long and give me more to chew on.

1. Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh

2. I've wanted to read it for ages! Didn't get to it right away and then it got buried in my ebook tbr... Finally noticed it again and read it in a day, loved it.

100% purchased this for the beautiful cover art… fortunately the story within was just a magic and beautiful as the cover!

This was such a fun duology inspired by Green Man folklore, following the wild man of the forest and a folklorist who gets tangled up in the old magic of Greenhollow. I loved the relationship that developed between them and I would read so many more stories about these characters if Emily Tesh ever writes them.

I revisited Emily Tesh‘s deliciously atmospheric forest- and folklore-infused fantasy Silver in the Wood before embarking on its sequel, the eerie and otherworldly Drowned Country. I loved seeing how the weight of an eternal wood has altered Henry and Tobias‘s relationship, the expansion of the world, and all the character development—plus fairies, vampires, a plucky new heroine, and more folklore studies!
