Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries

I'm not going to lie, 60% into the book I was bored. I was so bored that the only reason I didn't DNF it was the fact that I never DNF books at all. Somehow though, the last 40% of this book saved it.

I am a character driven reader and I didn't like Emily. I thought that she was very competent and hardworking but boring without a hint of humour in her. HOWEVER, her reluctant romance with Wendell was really really cute. They remind me so much of Sophie and Howl (though, unlike Emily, I have loved Sophie from the start).

That last part of the book and their romance somehow pushed the book up from the 2.5 rating I was sure I was going to give it to a solid 4 stars. I do want to read more about them and might pick up the second book :)
