Silver in the Wood There is a Wild Man who lives in the deep quiet of Greenhollow, and he listens to the wood. 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. When Greenhollow Hall acquires a handsome, intensely curious new owner in Henry Silver, everything changes. 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. Drowned Country Even the Wild Man of Greenhollow can't ignore a summons from his mother, when that mother is the indomitable Adela Silver, practical folklorist. Henry Silver does not relish what he'll find in the grimy seaside town of Rothport, where once the ancient wood extended before it was drowned beneath the sea-a missing girl, a monster on the loose, or, worst of all, Tobias Finch, who loves him.

Truly wonderful, heartfelt, strange, confronting. This duology is a beautiful thing. My review for the separate Novella's below:
Silver in the Wood
This is one for the randomly picking something in the Audible Included library and it turning out to be utterly phenemonal.
I'm flabbergasted with just how glorious this Novella's in tone and vibe are. It's like going on a beautiful spring walk in the British countryside, actually connecting with the trees and local folklore without having to deal with the posh Conservative or insular locals (I'm a Britbonger myself, so I think this is OK to say), experiencing all seasons and emotions in a day (which feels rather British).
Imagine if A24's Men was actually about positive masculinity and wonderfully adorable gay vibes, as well as the dangerous creature of myth.
I just feel so gloriously sated, especially with reading A Psalm for the Wild-Built in the last 36 hours. So much so that, while I am absolutely gagging to read the next book in this duology, I am so enamoured with coming across these books that I'm going to save it as a treat for the next time I need a pick me up or have a bad experience with a book.
Bloody marvellous!

Drowned Country
More strange and somewhat adorable sylvan fun from Silver and Toby.
I was truly blown away by Silver in the Wood with its wonder and emotional depth, so I felt a little disappointed with the first half of this novella. There are wonderful ideas and subversions of fantasy and folklore tropes, but it seems there was a little something missing. This emotional depth I had been missing really came back strongly with the second half, which I enjoyed a lot more. It wraps up the duoloy wonderfully.
If you liked Silver in the Wood, then you should absolutely read this, and if you haven't read that book GO DO IT RIGHT NOW!
