A bit of a slow start, but once I was into it I was ALL IN and I ended up really loving this. Very much looking forward to the rest of the series.

Emily & Wendell take the throne from his murderous stepmother but before they can get settled, they find a blight is moving across the land, killing plants and turning creatures into mindless killers.
Emily does what she does best: researching & running headlong into dangerous situations that will ultimately fix the problem but with unexpected consequences. But this time, she has underestimated those around her.
A great conclusion to the trilogy!

Emily is back in the field, this time hunting for a hidden back door into Wendell‘s realm and plotting her next book: a map of the fae lands. Things get complicated when Wendell‘s stepmother sends assassins after him. When the situation gets even worse, Emily and her niece/assistant brave a solo mission into the Otherlands to bring back a new ally.
Loved this installment in the Emily Wilde trilogy!

Excited to get this book & peppermint bark. I have consumed so much peppermint chocolate in the last month, & I love having more. Thank you & Merry Christmas Kim! @BarkingMadRead #jolabokaflodswap @MaleficentBookDragon

I thought I‘d love this cozy fantasy, but I just could not get into it. Every time I sat down to read it I fell asleep. It could have been that it‘s a busy, tiring time but for whatever reason, I had to set it aside. I‘m bummed!

And another one bites the dust!
I enjoyed this and almost feel guilty for not loving it but somehow I don't. I kept thinking about other books; it's got kind of an Amelia Peabody-ish vibe, though with a more Lord Peter/Harriet relationship, and some Jonathan Strange-esque footnotes. I did really like the very gentle touch of sexiness -- Wendell's collarbone, OMG -- but perhaps it just didn't make Emily appealing enough for me.

I colored this picture and wrote this story about it.
