Struggled with the pacing of this one in the first 50-60%!! I just never fully believed what Wendell and Emily would see in each other. Also, the researcher in me just feels like inserting yourself so strongly into your "subjects" makes for bad research? I also don't fully get Emily's disdain for many Fae creatures. ALSO I feel like
