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!
