A delightful sequel to a delightful book! I was so so happy to be thrown back into the chaotic scholarly pursuits of Emily and Wendell, as they look for a door back to his kingdom.
This book might even be better than the first. We have the characters we know and love, and are introduced to a few new ones to become obsessed with as well (I’m looking at you, Snowbell!). Everyone felt fully fleshed out, and the other characters added intrigue to the main plot, but never really distracted from Emily and Wendell, the valance was very well done.
As with the first book, the tone of this sequel had a nice mix of scholarly sounding passages, interspersed with the almost nonsensical situations that are common when faeries are involved. There was also some genuine romance, which I was very very excited to read. I loved every bit of this book and can’t wait for the next.
Huge shout out to NetGalley for getting me this ARC!
