A review by thefatgingerone
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett

Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
I wanted to love the book but the scene of torturing a changeling child really disturbed me. So much of the language used is similar to language that used to be used about disabled children and it’s clearly a metaphor for disabled children but the actions towards the child are disgusting and disturbing. The fact that the protagonist is never called out or faces repercussions for her actions was so upsetting to me. Ruined what would have been a lovely story.
