Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett – Emily Wilde #2
📚Summary
Following the publication of her encyclopaedia of faeries, Emily Wilde is embarking on a new project, a map of the faerie realms. She is also considering the proposal of marriage made by Wendell Bambleby, a fellow scholar who is actually an exiled faerie king. After assassins show up in Cambridge to attack Bambleby, he and Emily, along with her niece and a fellow academic, travel to the Austrian Alps to look for the door to his homeland. While in the Alps, they are drawn into another mystery regarding another dryadologist who disappeared years ago.
📃My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this book. While it was a continuation of a series, it had a lot of new adventures and new information about the faerie world. They didn’t seem to get as involved with the locals as in the first book, but there was a lot more interaction with the fairy folk. Emily continued to develop, especially in her relationships – both platonic and romantic – but she still presented as a realistic autistic-coded character, which I appreciated.
