Slow start but great

This book started slow but once Wendell came into the story it was irresistible. I can't wait for the second.

cassreadsforever's review against another edition

Thank you so much to Net Galley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with a free copy of “Emily Wilde's Encylcopaedeia of Faeries” by Heather Fawcett in exchange for an honest review. All of the following opinions are formulated on my own. Any quotes in this review should be cross-referenced with the final copy for any possible edits.

Overall rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Favorite quote(s):

Do you need to read the series this spinoff is based on?:

My review: Everyone knows I love a good fairy book and this book checked the box. This story begins with a 1900s Cambridge fairy studying professor named Emily. Much like many academics, Emily is good with literature yet not people. Emily visits a village I cannot spell and is met by her infuriating research rival Wendell. We watch a romance form between Wendell and Emily as she tries to figure out the mystery he is shrouded in.

If you liked the following, you will probably like this book:
-Godkiller
- the Fox Glove King
- Mysteries of Thorn Manor and an Enchantment of Ravens (turned Adult)

Will I finish the series?
Yes! I can't wait for the next one.

Notable Themes, Elements, and Tropes:
- THERE IS A DOG
- Fae and Magic
- Light and Dark Academia
- Mythological Lore
- Cozy Read
