This book was so charming and magical.
When I first started, I found it to be a bit slow. I found Emily’s analytical nature and stiffness with the villagers to be a bit too cold and cruel.
However, as the book progressed and Emily found herself being swept up into the life of the villagers despite her effort not to be, it got so much better. I found her awkwardness charming and endearing! Wendell of course softens her greatly and brings out her curmudgeon side in such a funny way. It’s clear they care for each other despite their constant bickering.
The winter setting and the ice magic of the Hidden Ones makes this to perfect cozy winter read (I read it in summer lol). You really feel like you e stumbled upon the journal of Emily Wilde and are following her accounts with rapt attention.
I loved the side characters! I don’t wanted more Poe so badly! I loved his connection with Emily.
The romance was minimal but so so charming! I can’t wait to see Emily and Wendell’s romance progress in the next book and see how their story will go from here. I think, knowing Wendell’s goals, that things will only get more intense and fantastical in the next book!
