| Beautiful prose, rich world building, and complex, well-developed characters lurk in these pages. But the pacing was not what I'd hoped for. There was such a compelling heist plotline going on that got benched too long to allow for classroom scenes a ...more | |

of
Silver in the Wood (The Greenhollow Duology, #1):
"3.5 stars
Silver in the Woodreads like a forest fairytale.It could be seen like a loose m/m retelling of the Green Man myths, so it's fitting that this is a storyabout rebirth and reawakening,not only of nature after spring but of people after tox " Read more of this review » |

| This book started off a little slow for me. What kept me going was the worldbuilding. The main character, Tobias Finch, lived alone in the forest near a small town. There are all manner of outlandish stories about him, and it turns out that at least ...more | |
“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.”

“If she had touched me," he said very softly, "I would have been hers and not my own, not ever again. I wanted her to touch me but I could not let her. No cat will. We let human beings caress us because it is pleasant enough and calms them - but not her. The price is more than a cat can pay.”

“But what's left on earth that I haven't tried?" Prince Lír demanded. "I have swum four rivers, each in full flood and none less than a mile wide. I have climbed seven mountains never before climbed, slept three nights in the Marsh of the Hanged Men, and walked alive out of that forest where the flowers burn your eyes and the nightingales sing poison. I have ended my betrothal to the princess I had agreed to marry — and if you don't think that was a heroic deed, you don't know her mother. I have vanquished exactly fifteen black knights waiting by fifteen fords in their black pavilions, challenging all who come to cross. And I've long since lost count of the witches in the thorny woods, the giants, the demons disguised as damsels; the glass hills, fatal riddles, and terrible tasks; the magic apples, rings, lamps, potions, swords, cloaks, boots, neckties, and nightcaps. Not to mention the winged horses, the basilisks and sea serpents, and all the rest of the livestock." He raised his head, and the dark blue eyes were confused and sad.
"And all for nothing," he said. "I cannot touch her, whatever I do. For her sake, I have become a hero — I, sleepy Lír, my father's sport and shame — but I might as well have remained the dull fool I was. My great deeds mean nothing to her.”

“I am no king, and I am no lord,
And I am no soldier at-arms, "said he.
"I'm none but a harper, and a very poor harper,
That am come hither to wed with ye. "
"If you were a lord, you should be my lord,
And the same if you were a thief, "said she.
"And if you are a harper, you shall be my harper,
For it makes no matter to me, to me,
For it makes no matter to me. "
"But what if it prove that I am no harper?
That I lied for your love most monstrously? "
"Why, then I'll teach you to play and sing,
For I dearly love a good harp, "said she.”

“You were the one who taught me," he said. "I never looked at you without seeing the sweetness of the way the world goes together, or without sorrow for its spoiling. I became a hero to serve you, and all that is like you.”
