Silver in the Wood

Audio review: This was a lovely novella that begins when Silver, a young man obsessed with legends and myth, walks into Tobias' woods. I often struggle with single-POVs, but being in Tobias' mind and following him care for trees, sit at the fire with his cat, sharpen his knives, and shift in his feelings towards the humans he meets was a soothing experience. I enjoyed the queer romance and slow journey to the end, though I wanted a bit more from the final conflict. I can see myself picking up the second book in this duology when I'm craving connection to the forest. As an urban dweller experiencing winter that might be sooner than later.
