Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett

3.0

---

The familiar style of writing and the natural cadence of the narrative in this book was refreshing to come back to after having stepped away from the Emily Wilde's series for a few months. I think I might've enjoyed it much more had I been able to read it sequentially instead of eagerly waiting for the third book to come out, though it wasn't difficult to retain the memories from the previous books, and the series does a great job of referencing what has previously occurred. Admittedly, however, it felt like there were a few too many twists and turns that prompted the book to feel like it kept going instead of finalizing it's story, creating a few threads that it needed to tie up as needed. Overall, though, still a great series altogether!
