NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • When mysterious faeries from other realms appear at her university, curmudgeonly professor Emily Wilde must uncover their secrets before it’s too late, in this heartwarming, enchanting second installment of the Emily Wilde series.

AN ELLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Emily Wilde is a genius scholar of faerie folklore who just wrote the world’s first comprehensive encyclopedia of faeries. She’s learned many of the secrets of the Hidden Ones on her adventures . . . and also from her fellow scholar and former rival Wendell Bambleby.

Because Bambleby is more than infuriatingly charming. He’s an exiled faerie king on the run from his murderous mother and in search of a door back to his realm. And despite Emily’s feelings for Bambleby, she’s not ready to accept his proposal of marriage: Loving one of the Fair Folk comes with secrets and dangers.

She also has a new project to focus on: a map of the realms of faerie. While she is preparing her research, Bambleby lands her in trouble yet again, when assassins sent by his mother invade Cambridge. Now Bambleby and Emily are on another adventure, this time to the picturesque Austrian Alps, where Emily believes they may find the door to Bambleby’s realm and the key to freeing him from his family’s dark plans.

But with new relationships for the prickly Emily to navigate and dangerous Folk lurking in every forest and hollow, Emily must unravel the mysterious workings of faerie doors and of her own heart.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Like all good fairy tales, this book is enchantingly charming, with hints of razor-sharp teeth. My only complaint is that it ends; I want to live in Emily’s Otherlands forever.”—Kiersten White, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Mister Magic

“Readers will be pleased that curmudgeonly Emily hasn’t lost too much of her edge, but she’s still susceptible to unexpected bonds of friendship.”—Booklist, starred review

“Upping the danger and the darkness while still retaining all the beauty of the prose, this takes Emily’s story to new heights.”—Publishers Weekly

More please

Just as good as the first, with the addition of some new characters. The narration was perfect. Can’t wait for the next book!

Loved it

I loved the settings, the characters, the narrator and -of course the story. I am really looking forward to Emily’s further adventures!

High Adventure

I loved the first Emily Wilde book, and hoped this would be as a good as the first, but I think it was even better. Such a fun book. We have the new characters of Ariadne and Professor Rose and of course Emily and Wendell, not to mention their budding romance. But I would not call it a romance book. It is plain fun and high adventure. Seemed faster paced than the first, and every bit as enjoyable. Narration is fabulous.

If you liked the first book, don’t hesitate to listen to the latest installment. I hope they’ll be a third.

A proper sequel

The narrator does a great job of making it feel like Emily is reading her journal to us! I enjoyed the sequel and that we got to explore more of faerie and the magic system. Emily remains as awkward as ever, and Wendell is simply the best. Shadow is a good boy!!!

Cosy Read

Solid 4.3. Such a lovely series! Low stakes, interesting world and characters. I’m so glad I came upon these books! And I adore the narrators— so good!

Fun and entertaining

I am in love with this series. Enjoying every adventure and misstep that Emily takes throughout faerie and mortal realms, I will admit that the voice of the narrator gets annoying at parts when she gets too “ spitty” I found myself recoiling and being distracted wishing she would just swallow the excess spit! It is such a stage actor habit when doing posh British accents.

Other than that one annoyance, I felt it was excellently read. I cannot wait until the next adventure. Just like Snowbell, I am eager to go on a quest with our heroine.

fantastic folklorey feel

I loved the character development and hints of a deep world of research and discovery

Fabulous fairytale

Wonderful world building and characters. Funny and sweet. I’ve greatly enjoyed both books in the series so far.

Really lovely series

Beautiful story and characters. Really enjoyed the listen and look forward to her other books in the series!

More Delightful Adventures in Faerie

I grew up on all the colors of the original Fairytale books by Andrew Lang, was a devotee of all things mythology, so when I stumbled across the Emily Wilde series I was sure I was going to be disappointed. But this is the second book and I loved it as much as the first. Heather Fawcett keeps the momentum going, true to the path the first book promised, which is sometimes difficult and disappointing, but not here. The quips and fun kept coming and I was not disappointed in the least. I love it when a book makes me laugh out loud. The presentation of both Ell Potter and Michael Dodds is delightfully teasing and pragmatic and I can hardly wait for the next episode of forays into the depth of Faerie. I highly recommend!
