A very cozy fantasy that's perfect for an autumnal read! I'm not a big fantasy reader, but the way this book was written, the characters, and the world building was very enjoyable. It was especially comforting to read for me personally as someone who has just completed a master's program, and I already miss the academic world. So I thought that it was fun to read a fantasy that was written as a scientific journal by a scholar. I also enjoyed the fonts used and all the fun footnotes. By the end I started to lose interest a little, but it was still mostly fun and exciting. I didn't care that much about the romance, but the romance wasn't the main focus of the book anyway. But I still think it would be fun to read the second book in this series, since I really liked the writing style and the world building. It would be fun to follow Emily and Wendell in their next adventure.
