A review by lizzuplans
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
5.0
Looooved this book. Fabulous story, the combination of academic text and personal journal was so fun, the footnotes were EVERYTHING and I am immediately continuing with the next.
The first few chapters take some getting used to, but continuing on gives so much!
The comparison to Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is easily made, but I feel that does this book a disservice. It is a very good book by itself and I wish everyone liking (high) fantasy would give this one a try. The Folk are not all Lucien and Rhysand…
“I will not speak of <i>them</i> here. Nor should I speak of them anywhere, this close to winter. But if you visit my house upon a midday when the sun shines and the wind is fair, I will answer your questions.”
