This story is wonderful. I adore that Emily is not a typical MC, but instead is grumpy, stoic, curious, scholarly… she is so great! There were slow parts to the story, and fast sections as well. I listened to most of this on audio and the narrator has such a lovely voice that I was killed to sleep a few times-despite the excitement of the story. I already have an e-arc of the next book and am very excited to start it very soon!
