Book 32: Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh

When I first read about this book, I knew that it sounded extremely familiar, and in fact it had originally been posted as an original work on Ao3 sometime in the last couple of years. It's a really lovely story incorporating the Green Man myth, someone who has survived in a Wood for centuries and is part of the forest himself. This particular telling also involves two gay love stories, one old and one new, and a fetching stranger who may know more than he initially lets on, and wood sprites and a secret and a reveal and final confrontation that I'm not entirely sure I completely understood, but I enjoyed it regardless. It is a quick read, something nice for a fall weekend afternoon in a cozy chair.
