In Silver in the Wood, did you enjoy ...

... the intimate, character-driven focus?

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison

If you loved the gentle, contained world of Greenhollow Wood and the close relationships between Tobias and Henry, you'll be drawn to Maia's journey in The Goblin Emperor. The story is centered on Maia's personal growth and his navigation through court life, focusing on subtle interactions and emotional connections rather than epic battles or sprawling settings.

... deeply-rooted mythology and folklore?

The Priory Of The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

If the ancient forest spirits and mythic undertones of Silver in the Wood captivated you, you'll be entranced by the dragons, legends, and lore woven throughout The Priory of the Orange Tree. The book draws richly from mythological traditions, embedding its characters in a world shaped by centuries-old stories.

... the slow, atmospheric unfolding of magic and romance?

Spear by Nicola Griffith

If you appreciated the gradual development of both the supernatural and romantic elements between Tobias and Henry, you'll relish the way Spear subtly reveals its magic and relationships. As Peretur discovers her place in the Arthurian world, the story lets atmosphere, longing, and discovery simmer to a satisfying, immersive slow burn.

... the gentle, hopeful tone and emotional payoff?

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

If the ultimately uplifting resolution and quiet tenderness of Silver in the Wood left you glowing, The House in the Cerulean Sea offers a similar warmth. Linus's journey to the magical orphanage is filled with kindness, acceptance, and a deeply rewarding emotional arc that echoes the gentle hopefulness you enjoyed.

... complex, emotionally-driven character growth?

Harrow The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

If Tobias's struggle with his past and Henry's transformation drew you in, you'll be equally invested in Harrowhark's harrowing (pun intended) journey in Harrow the Ninth. The book delves deep into trauma, identity, and personal evolution, layering emotional depth onto its fantastical plot.
