jeg tror ærlig talt at jeg likte denne boka mer enn den første.

det jeg slet mest med var brorbarnet til emily, ariadne, som jeg ikke egentlig følte at var så veldig viktig og som heller ikke ga noe sterkt inntrykk på handlinga (eller de andre karakterene)? karakteren ga inntrykk av å være en karakter som (enn så lenge, vet jo ikke med tredje boka) bare ble skrevet inn med hensikt av å ha med en ny/til karakter.

Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands is even more enchanting than its first entry.

The new characters are a great addition to the team, their dynamics work really well.

I love Emily as a character, she’s confident because she knows what she’s capable of, but at the same time she’s very self-concious and can recognise when this confidence makes her jump head first into dangerous situations.

I devoured the book in a couple days and cannot wait for the next part!

PS: Poe best character.

Somehow, I felt more drawn to the second book of the Emily Wilde series despite giving them both the same ratings. With the same familiar feel from the last book, Fawcett does a great job with going deeper into the world of dryadology as Emily and Wendell head out to the Alps in search for Wendell’s realm.

One thing that I really liked about the book is how Fawcett goes deeper in exploring the relationship between Emily and Wendell, especially as Emily considers the repercussions of marrying Wendell. It leans a bit into the romantasy side of things, but I think it added a lot of value to the plot as well as Emily and Wendell’s overall character development, respectively.

There is a bit more at stake compared to the action in the first book, so I would say that this is more cozy-adjacent. Additionally, if you’re not a fan of the macabre and/or a bit of gore, even if it is of the fantasy variety, this might not be the book for you. However, if you want to continue that same feeling from Emily Wilde’s Enclyclopaedia of Faeries or are looking for a light academia historical fantasy with a bit more dashes of romance, you come to the right place with this book.

An excellent sequel to a gripping and immersive tale of the fae. I loved being dropped into the lore and finding myself along for the ride, but not lead by random chance. Every mention lead to something later on, each piece of the adventure was revisited and important, and it demonstrates the care and thought the author put into weaving this story together. I'm already looking forward to book three!

Absolutely excellent, I am actually obsessed. Wendell and Emily's relationship progression was so fun, and I loved also having Ariadne and Rose along for the ride was so entertaining. I am incredibly hyped for book 3.

A wonderful sequel that adds new elements to the story of Emily and Wendell while still maintaining the charm from the first. I liked all of the various new fairies, many were a fun combo of creepy and charming. While I can see this being an issue for other readers, I actually appreciated that Emily really keeps her stubborn and at times unfriendly, even cold personality towards others and only comes to realize the error in her ways till later on.

Excited for the next book in the series to see what is next in store for Emily and Wendell!
