While it could not possibly live up to the standard the first book set up in my head, the second book of Emily Wilde was the fascinating read it promised to be. 

I greatly enjoy all of the characters (especially Wendell for he is so delightful; I found it disappointing that he had to be incapacitated for most of it) and I am excited to see them venture into Faerie once more. Every time a new species of faerie is introduced I am just as bewildered as the first time. All of them seem so foreign and yet so alluring—I can totally see myself as a colleague of Emily in this regard.

I am greatly invested in the development of the main plot (I even preordered the next book, something I rarely do!) and I am beyond myself to read more of Emily’s journal entries, mad as they are at times.
