A lot of times when you have these sorts of stories where humans are encountering the fae (or others) they’re set from the human’s POV. One of the reasons I loved this one so much is because of the POV that Tesh chose to go with. There’s also a bit of a mysteriousness to the story which I found compelling, as the background is slowly revealed to us, the reader.
The prose is fantastic and serves the story well in setting the tone and earthy atmosphere. Despite that, I took my time with this one because I was savoring every moment of the storytelling. This is less a review and more a ‘let me tell you all why I loved this book so much it was so beautiful and everyone should read it seriously go and get a copy of it you won’t regret it’ post.įirst of all, this is a very short book, only one hundred pages, so it’s a quick read. Old secrets better left buried are dug up, and 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. When Greenhollow Hall acquires a handsome, intensely curious new owner in Henry Silver, everything changes.
Tobias, tethered to the forest, does not dwell on his past life, but he lives a perfectly unremarkable existence with his cottage, his cat, and his dryads. There is a Wild Man who lives in the deep quiet of Greenhollow, and he listens to the wood.
