adventurous
informative
lighthearted

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
3.0
Edit: the longer I sat with this, the more I kept thinking about Emily and Wendell, and I feel like I need to revisit this as I wasn’t in the best frame of mind and I just went through a really awful break up (extra pessimistic).
It was fine. I didn’t necessarily enjoy it, and I found the romance to be very lackluster as a lot of their scenes together were very same-y (aka Emily being exasperated of/confused by Wendell and Wendell being exasperated of Emily). The scenes with them eventually became very tiresome to listen to.
However, I really enjoyed the faerie lore throughout the book. Younger me would have been obsessed with this series. Me now though, I got pretty bored. The book feels way longer than it needs to be.
