I gave Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries 5 stars, and I think I liked this sequel even more. I don't know if it's due to a change in the way Emily the character sees people or if it's due to having met some of these people before, but the characters felt more detailed. I felt much more attached and fond of  Wendell in this book and I really enjoyed the understated comfort of Emily's romance with him vs feeling like it was a weaker aspect of the previous book. This story also seemed more adventurous and fast paced, which I enjoyed despite not having any issue with the slower pace of the previous story. I am curious to see where the series goes from here. I recommend the audiobooks for this series, they suit the tone so well.

A reasonably good time, but didn’t live up to the hype of the first one. I will for sure continue in the series though, because this set us up for some fun stuff in the future!

This book had me wanting a sequel before it even finished!!! (I’m glad there is one, and honestly I can’t wait for it). 
I can’t explain the way I so easily devoured this book (as well as the previous one). 
The way Ms. Fawcett writes is just stunning to me. I could so vividly picture every setting, every caress, every character as their mouth bloomed into smile. I could feel the change in cadence and authorship in the chapter Wendell wrote. 
This book feels like something I could and would read again someday and still find the same delight within the pages. 
I hope my daughter desires to pick it up some day, and we can relive the journey together.
