Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries

✨ this is exactly what I want out of my cozy reads!

I can't believe it took me so long to get to it because I adored every second of the audiobook (which was superb, btw). The vibes were immaculate, and I loved the way the faerie were incorporated into the story, as well as the journal style of writing.

Most of all, I adored the characters. Emily is a no-nonsense scholar whose main priority is her research. She is a little awkward and secluded. She has no time to mingle with others, girl is here to get her work done and that's that. We see her grow throughout the story into someone who starts to see those on her journey as friends.

Wendell though. Wendell was the star of the show for me. He is exactly the type of a character that I adore. He can be a jerk, but at least a hilarious one. He reminded me of book!Howl from Howl's Moving Castle and that's a huge compliment. Let's not forget about Shadow! Our good, lil pup.

Normally I do not like comparing books because I don't want people to go in with the wrong expectations but I think that if you love HMC or The Regency Faerie books by Olivia Atwater, there's a high chance you'll enjoy Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries! (And if not, please don't blame me 😭).

Emily Wilde is a perfect cozy winter read, and I hope that if you do try it, you will love it as much as I did 🍄
