I was charmed by the world building and the way Emily interacts with the world. I also enjoyed Wallace as well. The two of them together are such a silly adventure.

I was excited to finally dive into this buzziest of books from last year. And I found myself delightfully entrancedby the end, but I was also totally thrown off guard by the format of the book. I was not expecting the field journal style narration, but I did come to enjoy Emily's unique take on her time in Hrafnsvik.

I found the "romance" between Emily and Bambleby to be a bit shoe horned for my liking. She clearly enjoyed him as a foil to her own knowledge, but had almost no inkling toward him in a romantic way before he proposed, or nearly after for that matter. I almost would have rather he stayed a dear friend and not entered the arena as a possible lover. It all just felt very afterthought and, yes it gave him a reason to help save her, but it felt like the weakest plot thread, since we got so little of the story from Bambleby's POV.

Just so freaking charming and delightful. Nerdy fairy academic, and a grumpy female lead? Who then inadvertently learns the power of community and helping others and then letting them help you?! SO DELIGHTFUL!

Really loved this book and plan to read the second and the third coming soon.

As an avid fantasy lover, I adored the folklore added to this "Encyclopedia". Emily's character is such a great narrative and I enjoyed seeing this scholar shut in learn to open up a little and handle herself.

This was such a good book! Very entertaining, I loved the characters so much! The world was very interesting, loved the academic-rivals-but-also-colleagues-and-besties-and-lovers(?)-trope.
Emily as a main character was SO relatable, she’s exactly like me, I fear:)
