As good as the first and a great set up for the third. Our hero continues to impress me. She’s exactly the person I wish to be myself - full of courage, compassion, and great instincts, making friends everywhere she goes despite herself, and excellent at setting boundaries and living and loving on her terms. The only way Wendell deserves her is by being a king, because what else can he really offer her to match her own awesomeness?

Yes, Heather Fawcett has done it again!
I dove into Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands and was instantly reminded of the dynamic between the two main characters. Their relationship is a mix of humor, sweet moments, and complicated thoughts and feelings.
At first, the story took its time to unfold, and I found myself wishing things would pick up a bit faster. But once the story hit its stride in the second half, I was hooked. I honestly devoured it.
The protagonist, especially, is a character I found myself relating to – she's smart, knows her value, and yet, she's always winding up in some kind of predicament because of this. I’m sure a lot of readers can relate to her.
I have to be honest, though – the slow start did make me hesitate a bit, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. The cozy vibe of the book does pair well with the leisurely pace at the beginning, but for me, it just took a little too long to really get into the thick of the story.
But once the book picked up, it was a fantastic story. I can’t wait for the next one!
