I don't know what it is about Emily Wilde. Just like the first book, this sequel drew me in so easily. I read it in two sittings because I just wanted to spend more time with these characters rather than do something else.
Everything that was so good about Encyclopaedia of Faeries is expanded on here. Emily and Wendell's relationship is more of a focus—their banter is cute, there are aww-worthy moments, but also times where Emily struggles with what a future for them might look like. Wendell, of course, doesn't really help with any of that, either, but the way he cares about Emily is heartwarmingly adorable.
We get introduced to a couple of new characters as well, which means more time watching Emily learn how to interact with people. There are plenty of nasty faeries with nasty surprises, once again making for a very compelling story, and I can't wait to see what Emily and Wendell will get up to next.
