Review:
This book was wonderful! Book one was one of my top read in 2023 and book two is a top read in 2024! I love Emily Wilde and Wendell Bambleby and how they are grump x sunshine trope. Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands is a light academia book, just like the first one. It is basically a journal entry of Emily and has footnotes, which just shows how unique and quirky Emily is (& I love that!)

In this book, we follow the adventure of Emily & Wendell again, while also meeting Emily's niece and another professor from Cambridge, Rose. We then embark on an adventure to find the doctor to Wendell's realm. Meanwhile, Emily has started working on her second book, where she is mapping the doors and the realms of the Faerie world.

Also, Emily still hasnt given Wendell a reply to his marriage proposal from book one. However, throughout this book, there is alot of interaction between Emily and Wendell and you can see them build their relationship together as Emily wraps her mind around the idea of being with a Fae. This book takes place in Austrian Alps and has a different environment as compared to book one, where it was more folky and homey. This ties well with the plot as we learn more about the Fae Folks and how the mortals are impacted by them.

This book is cozy, very cottagecore in its vibes and feelings and just had me giggling throughout at the interaction between Emily & Wendell and at both of their peculiar yet cute habits. As an introvert, I always tend to relate more to Emily and how she is quite awkward yet has good intentions AND she is clever. We also get to know a bit more about Emily through her interaction with her niece, Ariadne.

I'm looking forward to book three and cant wait to continue the adventure of Emily & Wendell.

Thank you to Little Brown for a physical Arc Copy and NetGalley for an eArc in exchange for an honest opinion.
