Everything that was interesting and charming about the previous book (folklore and fey study) is severely lacking in this installment. Emily is somehow even more unlikable, bratty, and entitled.
I found her treatment of her niece particularly unpleasant to read, as the niece did absolutely nothing wrong, but was viewed as a nuisance regardless.
Emily constantly disrespects her elders and doesn't heed any warnings, yet somehow pulls through situations that she shouldn't have been able to pull through (the amount of plot armor in this book is so embarassing) 1w
