I gave Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries 5 stars, and I think I liked this sequel even more. I don't know if it's due to a change in the way Emily the character sees people or if it's due to having met some of these people before, but the characters felt more detailed. I felt much more attached and fond of Wendell in this book and I really enjoyed the understated comfort of Emily's romance with him vs feeling like it was a weaker aspect of the previous book. This story also seemed more adventurous and fast paced, which I enjoyed despite not having any issue with the slower pace of the previous story. I am curious to see where the series goes from here. I recommend the audiobooks for this series, they suit the tone so well.

A reasonably good time, but didn’t live up to the hype of the first one. I will for sure continue in the series though, because this set us up for some fun stuff in the future!

It was wonderful being reunited with the characters I fell in love with during the first book. Wendell and Emily still have that same wonderful energy that made their banter so much fun to read. I love them even more now, which I didn't think possible. I even met some new characters that have grown on me.
The writing was just as magical as the previous book. It really feels like I'm in Emily's world. It was enjoyable to spend more time exploring Faerie and getting to learn about even more of the Folk who inhabit the world.
The story itself was very fun, it kept me on my toes with wondering what was going to happen next. There were a few mysteries that got unraveled and some left to explore in the next book. I'm very excited to see where the next journey takes us!
I dreaded having to put the book down, I just wanted to spend the whole day reading it! I'm definitely going to do another read through before the third book comes out!

This book was much faster paced than the second one and got straight into the action. I fell more in love with Emily and Wendell’s quirky relationship although I did find Ariadne a tiny bit insufferable. This book continued to do so much amazing world building, discussing different species of Fae and how they are located/how they feel about each other etc
Excited for book 3!!
