Elaina’s Reviews > Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries > Status Update

Again, more twist that I did not see coming. Emily released the King stuck in the tree and then was trapped by him. I love that the village she was researching in came to the rescue.

The marriage proposal from Wendell came out of nowhere. I was not expecting this book to have romance, completly took me by surprise.

I have answers about Shadow! Also, Bamblebe's journal entry was hilarous, very unlike Emily's neat notes.

This book keeps getting more interesting. I love how Emily collects folktales from the area to add to her knowledge about Faeries. I loved the three tales that were included into the story. Also, she was 100% correct about Wendell and has confronted him about his exile. I am excited to see if more is revealed about him.

I am not sure how I feel about Wendell Bamblebe. He is pompous and lazy when doing his research. It seems that he is there to gain from Emily's efforts or mess up her research, not sure yet. I am leaning towards Emily's hypothesis that he is himself fae.

I am liking how this book is written from an academic point of view, almost like reading a research report. I also love Emily as a character, she is straight forward and looking to record what she observes about the faeries.
