'Forget dark academia: give me instead this kind of winter-sunshined, sharp-tongued and footnoted academia, full of field trips and grumpy romance' Freya Marske, author of A Marvellous Light

An intrepid professor must uncover faerie secrets in the delightful and heart-warming second instalment of the Sunday Times bestselling Emily Wilde series.

Emily Wilde is a genius scholar of faerie folklore, and has catalogued many secrets of the Hidden Folk in her encyclopaedia with her infuriatingly charming fellow scholar, Wendell Bambleby, by her side.

But Bambleby is more than just a brilliant and unbearably handsome scholar. He's an exiled faerie king on the run from his murderous mother, in search of a door back to his realm.

By lucky happenstance, Emily's new project, a map of the realms of faerie, will take them on an adventure to the picturesque Austrian Alps, where Emily believes they may find the door to Bambleby's realm, and the key to freeing him from his family's dark plans.

But with new friendships for the prickly Emily to navigate and dangerous Folk lurking in every forest and hollow, Emily must unravel the mysterious workings of faerie doors, and of her own heart.

I cannot wait for the third book! I’ve fallen in love with how enchanting and intricate the details are with all the amazing whimsical characters. Feel sad to leave them behind :(

This series continues to be a firm favourite of mine. It has everything you could ever want in a book about faeries. There’s colourful characters, magic, little fairy friends and a romance. I particularly enjoyed the intriguing back drop of the Swiss Alps. The narration really brought the character of Emily to life for me and characters were all easily distinguishable due to the narrators brilliant array of accents. Overall this series is a must listen/read.

5 stars all round!

I don’t normally enjoy audio books as I am quite particular about the narrator but this is done spectacularly and the characters are voiced perfectly. I love the plot of the book and can’t for book 3.

Addictive Listening
