I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This second installment in Emily and Wendell's story is just as lovely as the first! It's warm and bright and adventurous and the perfect read for a winter day.

Emily and Wendell continue their hunt for Wendell's door and it takes them to Austria. The environment is beautifully described! I felt like I was there, wandering the mountainside with Emily. The injection of more personal motives into Emily's field work is a nice touch of growth.

I loved the addition of Farris and Ariadne. They made for an element of chaos, depth, and interpersonal friction that forced Emily out of her comfort zone in delightful ways. And it was fascinating to learn more about Poe and Shadow.

I can't say enough good things about this story and Heather's work. Just dive into this world and hang on for the ride!
