What a treat that you'll be able to start your 2023 with this brand-new gem of a book! Cambridge Professor Emily Wilde is working on an expansive Encyclopaedia of Faeries. She journeys to the tiny European town of Hrafnsvik deep in the northern mountains to catch sight of some rarer fae and winds up entangled with a particular fae king she didn't expect. Along the way is a slow-blooming romance between her and a colleague, the eccentric Brambleby, who shows up to help her studies...but not in the way Emily expects. A charming, cozy read perfect for a magical cold winter day!
There are two wolves inside you: one is Emily Wilde, the other is Wendell Bambleby

A true journal that make take some getting used to in order to get started, but once you're in you're stuck. Emily brings the awkward, oblivious academic who is too obsessed with her research to realize social norms/cues. Wendell is the super charismatic lover boy who is constantly cleaning up after her as he rips out his hair. Drama and hilarity ensues.

I struggled with this review, mainly because I enjoyed the book, I loved the style of a journal and the writing style.
I loved Emily and Wendells dynamic/relationship and banter, and Shadow. And throughly enjoyed learning about the Folk and the villagers. I loved how fast paced it was and it made for an easy read in one sitting.
I was about 70% through and thinking this was going to be a 4 star book when Emily's actions made me dislike her. I understand she doesn't like people, and she is a very self-centered and stubborn person and yet there were things I didn't like about her.Burning the toy, her going off on her own, putting everyone who risked their life ar risk when she woke the king and then refused thier plan was something I couldn't really forgive her for, even though everything worked out in the end
I'll read book two, in the hopes she changes, but the lack of character development disappointed me.
