Book 1 Review: Book Review: Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia Of Faeries, by Heather Fawcett
MINOR SPOILERS FOR BOOK 1 AHEAD
Oh am I glad to have been back in this world with Emily and Wendell!
Fawcett has created a delightfully charming sequel struck with a dark streak that accompanies the Fae. This book continues on from the first, picking up after Emily and Wendell have returned and published their findings. However, now Emily must deal with an argumentative fellow academic named Rose, and her niece, Ariadne, who has become her self-proclaimed assistant – much to Emily’s chagrin.
Emily has set her sights on finding Wendell’s door, a feat she is determined to accomplish with Wendell by her side. However, this is easier said than done when Cambridge is attacked by assassin Fae who want Wendell out of the way.
The plot was as chaotic, adventurous and amusing as the first book and had me completely captured from page 1. Emily and Wendell, with Rose and Ariadne in tow, end up in the Alps this time during their search but much like book one, the common fae are there to cause mischief and trouble during their academic search, as if assassins weren’t enough!
Emily and co tackle the Alpine landscape while contending with the Fae’s trickery and magic. We get much more of Emily and Wendell, and their relationship – which is particularly delightful throughout this book! But we get the added dynamics of Rose and Ariadne which add something new and fresh to the groups chemistry.
I absolutely adored the way the relationships grew and progressed over the course of the book, including little side relationships that occur from book one and are maintained throughout the novel. I loved the actual plot itself too, similar yet different to the first book, it is a refreshing adventure that holds a familiar comfort within it.
Again we get the story told through Emily’s journaling, and I, again, love the academic perspective put on the story as a whole but we also get much more personal attachments throughout which I really liked. Emily continues to capture my heart, I do love her headstrong, academic behaviour, as does Wendell who is as flighty and chaotic as before.
The way this book ends has me absolutely HOOKED for book 3, I truly cannot wait to join Emily and Wendell again in the adventure promised to us!!!!
Overall, Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett is another charming triumph that you will undoubtedly ADORE!

Great review! I just bought a copy of this book the other day and I can’t wait to pick it up after doing my re-read of book one 🙂 I got the audiobook for it and I loved the preview I listened to so I’m hoping it’ll be a quick re-read. So glad to hear you enjoyed this one just as much as the first!
