Review "An incredibly fun journey through fae lands and dark magic"—NPR"A heartwarming spin on fantasy lore"—POPSUGAR"The world-building here is exquisite . . . and the characters are just as textured and richly drawn. This is the kind of forlorn, folkloric fantasy that remembers the old, blood-ribboned source material about sacrifices and stolen children, but adds a modern gloss."—"Sizzling Hot Books for Cold Winter Days," The New York Times Book Review"Emily herself is delightful, brilliant but flawed, and often darkly funny. Her frustration with her feckless but charming colleague Wendell Bambleby is the perfect spark, and the romance is light but hits surprisingly hard when it chooses to."—The New York Times (Editors Choice)"A book so vividly, endlessly enchanting . . . It pushed the real world aside in the way of all truly great fantasy novels, and Im jealous of everyone who gets to read it for the first time."—Melissa Albert, The New York Times bestselling author of the Hazel Wood series"Forget dark academia: Give me instead this kind of winter-sunshined, sharp-tongued, and footnoted academia, full of field trips and grumpy romance and malevolent faeries. Emily Wilde is a narrator I wont forget in a hurry, and this book was an invigorating balm for my heart and mind."—Freya Marske, author of A Marvellous Light"A whimsical and enchanting romp that had me quite literally laughing out loud on every page. I enjoyed every word of this gorgeously written fairy tale featuring a grumpy heroine and an utterly charming love interest who constantly surprised me. A new favorite!"—Isabel Ibañez, author of Woven in Moonlight "Emily Wildes Encyclopaedia of Faeries charmed me more than any faerie king ever could . . . This book is an absolute delight."—Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy"Enchanting in every sense of the word, Emily Wildes Encyclopaedia of Faeries is a delight of snow-laden forests and changelings, folklore and faerie kings, meticulous footnotes and academic rivalry and adventure. This book is real magic."—H. G. Parry, author of The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep"Emily Wildes Encyclopaedia of Faeries is a charmingly whimsical delight, saturated with faerie magic and the equally wonderful magic of humanity. This is going to be one of my regular rereads. Five dazzling, gladdening stars."—India Holton, author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels"Fawcett grabs readers attention by drawing them into the folklore as well as the surrounding world. A great read for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Erin Morgenstern."—Library Journal (starred review) "The full cast of characters, well-developed faerie lore, and pervasive sense of cold add depth to the delightful proceedings, which include scholarship, yes, but also danger and a hint of romance."—Booklist (starred review) "Follow the lights into the woods and dance with the fae under Emilys careful guidance—just be sure not to get carried away."—BookPage Details ISBN0593500156 Author Heather Fawcett Pages 352 Publisher Random House USA Inc Year 2023 ISBN-13 9780593500156 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-10-24 Imprint Del Rey Books Subtitle Book 1 of the Emily Wilde Series Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Audience General US Release Date 2023-10-24 Series Emily Wilde Series Number 1 DEWEY 813.6 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
