Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett
5.0
I LOVED THIS BOOK! I loved the first one, and this was even better.
The biggest change, structurally, between this and the first book was that this one had a clear goal. You knew where the plot was going and what the characters were trying to do. The plot engine is more focused and tight.
What I really love in this is the journalling narration. It's so much from Emily's perspective that it provides room for reading between the lines. Emily is not the best at emotional introspection, so the reader gets to do it. I loved the game of reading between the lines, seeing what Emily missed and what she doesn't want to admit to herself.
If you liked the first book, I think you'll love this one. Highly recommended.
Thanks to Netgalley and Del Rey for a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own.
