Imma be real. This is five stars because it was gay. The story (stories?) was very charming, if a bit forgettable. I have no substantial comments about the structure of this book. It was all fine and entertaining. But the romance was so well described and gently built. I loved the dynamic between Tobias and Silver and their distinct ways of showing affection, particularity in Drowned Country. This was a very sweet love story built upon the backdrop of a charming fantasy folklore story.
