Very atmospheric and I loved the highly descriptive nature parts (village, forest etc,) but when it comes to furniture or a blanket... I don't care. I liked Emily and Wendell and they had some fun moments together but this was such a slow read for me. I kind of dreaded picking it up so many times. I liked when we learned about the fairies with Emily and the footnotes but then they just stopped... I did finish it cause it was something I still wanted to come back to and see the ending but if this is a "cozy fantasy" It will be possible many years before I try the genre again... if I ever do

Second book?: Will not read right now but again, possible in the future...not likely though
