Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales

Emily Wilde, Book 3

De: Heather Fawcett

Narrado por: Ell Potter, Michael Dodds

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The third installment in the heartwarming and enchanting Emily Wilde series, about a curmudgeonly scholar of folklore and the fae prince she loves

Emily Wilde has spent her life studying faeries. A renowned dryadologist, she has documented hundreds of species of Folk in her Encyclopaedia of Faeries. Now she is about to embark on her most dangerous academic project yet: studying the inner workings of a faerie realm—as its queen.

Along with her former academic rival—now fiancé—the dashing and mercurial Wendell Bambleby, Emily is immediately thrust into the deadly intrigues of Faerie as the two of them seize the throne of Wendell’s long-lost kingdom, which Emily finds a beautiful nightmare filled with scholarly treasures.

Emily has been obsessed with faerie stories her entire life, but at first she feels as ill-suited to Faerie as she did to the mortal world: How can an unassuming scholar such as herself pass for a queen? Yet there is little time to settle in, for Wendell’s murderous stepmother has placed a deadly curse upon the land before vanishing without a trace. It will take all of Wendell’s magic—and Emily’s knowledge of stories—to unravel the mystery before they lose everything they hold dear.

“The charming third (and final) installment in the Emily Wilde series cements Heather Fawcett as the queen of cozy, low-stakes fantasy.”—Paste

Wonderful again’

Another great installment of this series. I hope there will be more! Publishers seem to only push fantasy with blood and explosions which can be fun but clever and cozy books like this are such a perfect palette cleanser. This one is lovely and very heartfelt. Great plot and page turningly interesting :-) Swoony too! Loved it. Hope the author is hard at work in another right now!

Another fun adventure

Emily got on my nerves a bit more in this one, but it continues to be an enjoyable series.

Can anybody make me their fairy queen?

This book is a cup of the most comforting tea as well as the fluffiest robe. Not to mention an encyclopedia for anyone venturing to a fairy realm, such as Elfhame

Loved it!!

I hadn’t intended to start book 3 so soon after finishing 2 but I’m so glad I did. I loved how the story evolved and brought in so many elements from the first two. It feels like there’s more than enough set up for future books and I certainly hope that’s the case!!

Wonderful

Enthralling, exciting, suspenseful, satisfying… worth the wait. The story still offered unexpected twists and turns that made book three well worth the wait.

Wonderful

Ups and downs and with comfortable familiar friends. Twists and turns surprises. Tears and laughter.

Great people and story

Heartwarming adventure and thrilling wit! Love all the details. The plot twists and stories are perfect. Thanks so much!

Creative & Lovely story

I adore the love story between Emily & Wendell. Emily is so logical and tries so hard not to be emotional, yet she is crazy in love with Wendell despite her best efforts. Free-spirited Wendell would do anything to make Emily happy. Anything. Emily finds creative ways to win against all odds without being a warrior. Starting this one over, and I can’t wait for the next one.

A wonderful novel!

I loved this and the first two Emily Wilde's novels. The story continues very nicely from the second and comes to a satisfying conclusion. I'm looking forward to reading more from Heather Fawcett. The narrators are fantastic!

adorable

Loved it in general, the characters, the story, it was so cozy, a joy to sit through
