A wonderful conclusion to a special and wonderfully written light academia series. The scholar and introverted Cambridge professor as the heroine who solves the greatest challenges with her researcher talents, books and studies about folk tales is such a wonderful cozy read. While the second book was maybe the weakest, the third is just as great as the first - but in a different way as it is much more action packed and the stakes are higher. I did not enjoy the audio book version, the female speaker of the Emily really over-did the English accent and made her sound whiney, spoiled and weak, when the character is anything but! The hardcover covers in the Art-Deco style are gorgeous though, so I went for those, because I know I'll want to re-read this series which has become one of my favourite academia series.
