Discovering the Enchantment of "Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries"

I was initially drawn into this fantasy novel by its shiny front cover and the blurb hinting at an enemies-to-lovers arc. However, as I delved deeper into the magnificent world created by Heather Fawcett, I became absolutely enamoured.

Overall Thoughts

Fawcett has a remarkable command of language. She takes you on an adventure filled with rich descriptions. Each scene is crafted with enough detail to paint a vivid picture, yet it remains concise enough to keep the plot moving forward. The storytelling is captivating, especially if you enjoy a sprinkle of romance that enhances the plot without overshadowing the fantasy elements.

Fawcett's fantasy world is one I wish I could inhabit. She explores this realm with depth and clarity, drawing you into the story with every chapter. Her world unfolds like the petals of a flower, revealing its nuances bit by bit.

What I Loved Most

1. The Characters

Fawcett breathes life into her characters. Each human and faerie is a unique individual with their own desires and motivations. Even the side characters are given the dignity of shared secrets and hidden motives. This approach to characterisation makes the story compelling. Who truly knows anyone's intentions, other than the author? I suppose I will have to read on to find out!

2. There Is Never a Dull Moment

The plot is always in motion. If you dislike slow build-ups, this book is definitely for you. Fawcett has mastered the art of timing and sequencing, maximizing enjoyment throughout the reading experience. If you immerse yourself in the lore, you might even want to explore the detailed footnotes left by Emily Wilde, where she provides academic insights into her experiences.

Some Things to Look Out For

No book is perfect. If any of these points are deal-breakers for you, then the 'Emily Wilde' series might not be your cup of tea.

1. Fawcett possesses an amazing vocabulary. I, however, do not.

2. The book is written from an academic perspective.

3. The romance is a side story and does not progress quickly.
