Wow

Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett is Book 2 of the Emily Wilde series. Emily Wilde was a genius scholar who had just published an encyclopedia of faerie. Wendell Brambleby was an exiled Prince of an Irish faery realm who was searching for a back door into his kingdom. In this book, Emily was working on a map of faerie and searching for Brambleby’s back door. His step mother began sending assassins after Brambleby as well as poison, and the two set off on another expedition in the Austrian Alps but found themselves with Emily’s niece, as an assistant, and another professor from Cambridge tagging along. Following the path taken by an earlier Dryadologist who had disappeared, Emily sought an entrance into Brambleby’s realm in order to find a cure for the poison that was gradually taking him from her before she could decide whether to accept his marriage proposal. This was an endearing novel about a brave, intelligent woman who used her brains to journey to a place where humans rarely escaped in order to save the faerie she loved. The author gave us the opportunity to experience descriptive interactions between Emily and many types of Fae. The addition of her niece and the other professor added color to the story and Brambleby was as exasperating and charming as he was in book 1. If you enjoy stories about journeys into the land of the Fae, then I most emphatically recommend this book and this series. I am voluntarily writing this review after reading an advanced complementary copy of this novel, thanks to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group, Ballantine, Del Rey.

I fell in love with Book 1, and immediately dug into Book 2 when it came out - I loved it! I'm a big fan of folklore and fae, and this series gives the fae justice with how odd and downright morbid they can be! I'm excited for Book 3, I'll be keeping my eyes out

i loved book 1 of this series and its sequel does not disappoint! the world building is magnificent and this book showed us more of the terror that is the fae as well as its beauty. I cannot wait until the third book is released!

Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands is a wonderful follow-up to Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries and it's just as delightful and whimsical sprinkled with lots of magic, action, romance, mystery, and adventure. Along with reuniting with fan favorites Emily, Wendell, and Shadow, we are introduced to new characters just as lovable as those we've met in the town of Hrafnsvik (Norway). Heart-stopping action and adventures are set in the sweeping landscape of St. Liesl (Austrian Alps). Fans of book 1 are surely not to be disappointed!
