Drowned Country

This second installment of the Greenhollow series is better than the first, in my humble opinion. We have the world-building and the character development out of the way so we can get right on with the adventure. I loved Maud. I love Mrs. Silver too, and her occupation. What I never do well with, it's me, is romance of any sort so once that yawn-factor was removed I could really enjoy this. Oh, and the imagery! As someone who grew up reading fairy tales, I love when I stumble upon stories that read like a fairy tale I have never read before, but comfortable enough to feel like an ancient tale. Tesh does this so very well.
