Thank you Net Galley and Little Brown Book Group UK for this e-ARC.
We are introduced to the quieter scholarly life of Emily & Wendell at the start of this sequel, having returned from their recent trip and back to 'normal' life. What I absolutely loved about the opening of this book is how quickly we are thrown into the action. I loved the slow start, the meeting at the cafe, very cozy feels, with the subtle indications of what's to come with Emily meeting a stranger en-route to her breakfast meeting. We're introduced to 2 new characters who are suddenly thrown into the adventure. It feels much more fast paced than the Encyclopedia of Faeries from the off set. With the first I found I was able to put it down between chapters and not in a massive rush to pick it back up, whereas with Map of the Otherlands I am desperate to continue reading, to continue on the journey and find the answers alongside Emily & co.
The journal style writing is really growing on me, it feels more immersive and atmospheric than 3rd party storytelling. I'm really enjoying it and I think previously having Encyclopaedia of Fairies on audiobook has really helped as I've been able to read this with an accent in my head, if that makes any sense to anyone out there π
I absolutely love the way Fawcett has evolved Emily and Wendell's relationship, it's not overpowering and doesn't distract from everything else that's going on, yes it is very much a driving force in this series but not to the point it's overwhelmingly a romance novel.
I've absolutely loved these books so far and already can't wait for the next one!
