Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett

5.0

Hello the only word I can think of is Delightful. Wait let me try again: Splendid. A Hoot. So Fun. Eminently Charming.

The sequel to Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, MAP OF THE OTHERLANDS deepens the story in the same style. Emily and Wendell are back at Cambridge after their first adventure, but not for long—fairy assassins are hot on Wendell’s trail. Emily sets out on a quest for the door into his realm—and also to work on her new map—with two new companions in two: her eager niece and their curmudgeonly colleague, both of whom insisted on being included in the adventure. Their trip takes them to the German/Austrian Alps this time, and run into more thorny species and uniquely fae probelms.

The author has made a fan for life. I am living for these characters and the mix of cozy and exciting that they manage to imbue the tales with. If there is not a book 3 I shall cry. I will 100% be running to the bookstore the instant this is released. Five enthusiastic stars.

Many thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this ARC. This is my honest review. EWMOTO releases Jan 16, 2024.
