Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.
I don't really think I have the words to truly express the love and adoration I hold for this series. I started the series last year, going in not quite knowing what to expect, and fell in love with the world and characters created by Heather Fawcett. Going into book two had me scared I wouldn't feel the way I did after book one, that genuine joy and warm feeling a good book brings to you. However, I was not disappointed while reading this second instalment in the series.
Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands had everything I craved, from the humour, to the characters, to the setting and the plot. I simply couldn't get enough, and I doubt I ever will. It is by far my favourite read of the year so far, and I simply couldn't praise it enough for how much enjoyment I got out of reading it. Every character brings in something different, a vision of their world and the adventures they go through. The journalistic style of the book and the flow of the narration, no matter how hard it tries to stay unbiased, at least from Emily's perspective, is explored in such an entertaining way that I couldn't stop myself from reading.
The two complaints I probably have are that I wish the book could go on for longer. I wished it didn't end, yet I had to accept the fact it would. And I will always hope for more Emily and Wendell scenes of them just together.
I am more than excited for book three to come out and can't wait to pick it up next year!
