  " Do you know? Rose asked me why I was not more surprised by your feat. He does not understand you as I do, Em, but as you seem to consider him a friend now, I told him the truth: in order to be surprised, I could not have known already that you are capable of anything. " 

  Once again I finish this book at the early hours of the morning, but I don't regret it. THIS is How you write a series. I dont think i've read world building so beautiful. I've mentioned it before , but I love LOVE the way the Folk are potrayed in this book. How they all have the common arrogance and cockiness but extremely different in their handling. Wendell and Poe and the Faun are similar, but also vastly different in personality and methods. I was worried when Wendell was revealed to be a Fae , concerned that this story would lead down the dark romance path of emotional manipulation. Instead , Fawcett crafted an immaculate character in Emily Wilde that she never felt like she lost herself to Wendell nor was he secretly playing the long game. I loved this book even more than the first and I'm incredibly excited for book 3 coming out this year!

Professor Wilde is thee autism representation we needed from a series like this I love her and her crew so much.
Also, Wendell, call me back the kids miss you.

(I did also really enjoy that there were connections to the first book, and it wasn't like two stand alone books in a series. having Poe be a really important character still made me so happy he is just my little guy.)

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?

Utterly delightful!!! The world, the characters, the lore… I just devour all of it! This plot was admittedly less absorbing than the first book's but nonethless I had the absolute best time with Emily, Wendell, Poe, and all the rest of their assorted friends and creatures. The potential for this world is nearly limitless, and I cannot wait to see where it will go. Truly, I laughed and smiled throughout, and I can't think of a better compliment — what a wonderful, wonderful series!
