Thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss+ for giving me early access in exchange for an honest review!
Three things that I love very much are:
1. Stories about witches in training
2. Anne of Green Gables
3. Fawcett's Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries
So you know I had to request this one.
It was a little sadder than I was expecting, but I really liked it! It shared enough story beats with Anne of Green Gables that I was always curious about what Fawcett would do with the next one, but it's very much its own story. And I loved Grace! Even if she weren't inherently charming and lovable, I would have liked her for her willingness tothrow hands with a fairy .
Also, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really hope this doesn't end up being a standalone. It stands be itself perfectly well, but it feels like there is potential for more, and I'd kind of like to see what Fawcett might do with that.
Hand this to a kiddo who liked Coraline or Wee Free Men. (Or read it and enjoy it yourself! Do both!)
