Tesh’s writing is so atmospheric and she manages to breathe such life into the forest that it almost feels as if you’re walking through the woods with Tobias and experiencing all the life that teems inside it, both light and dark, alongside him. It’s a bit sorrowful and goes down an unexpectedly dark and creepy path. This was so beautiful and deeply emotional. It’s so full of heart and emotion and it’s a perfectly dark fairytale story set in the woods! Not to mention that cover? *chefs kiss!* Emily Tesh managed to make me really care about this story that’s a little over 100 pages and I’m amazed! I have a feeling that this book will continue to grow on me the longer that I think about it and I love books that do that ❤️ I don’t even know how to adequately describe how wonderful this short story is. What did I just read? This was WAY too short and I didn’t want it to end! I don’t often read novellas or short stories because I have a very hard time connecting to them and most of the time I feel like before the story has even begun it’s already ended.
