Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales

De: Heather Fawcett

Narrado por: Ell Potter, Michael Dodds

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The third installment in the heartwarming and enchanting Emily Wilde series, about a curmudgeonly scholar of folklore and the fae prince she loves

A GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Emily Wilde has spent her life studying faeries. A renowned dryadologist, she has documented hundreds of species of Folk in her Encyclopaedia of Faeries. Now she is about to embark on her most dangerous academic project yet: studying the inner workings of a faerie realm—as its queen.

Along with her former academic rival—now fiancé—the dashing and mercurial Wendell Bambleby, Emily is immediately thrust into the deadly intrigues of Faerie as the two of them seize the throne of Wendell’s long-lost kingdom, which Emily finds a beautiful nightmare filled with scholarly treasures.

Emily has been obsessed with faerie stories her entire life, but at first she feels as ill-suited to Faerie as she did to the mortal world: How can an unassuming scholar such as herself pass for a queen? Yet there is little time to settle in, for Wendell’s murderous stepmother has placed a deadly curse upon the land before vanishing without a trace. It will take all of Wendell’s magic—and Emily’s knowledge of stories—to unravel the mystery before they lose everything they hold dear.

Loved it!!

I hadn’t intended to start book 3 so soon after finishing 2 but I’m so glad I did. I loved how the story evolved and brought in so many elements from the first two. It feels like there’s more than enough set up for future books and I certainly hope that’s the case!!

Wonderful again’

Another great installment of this series. I hope there will be more! Publishers seem to only push fantasy with blood and explosions which can be fun but clever and cozy books like this are such a perfect palette cleanser. This one is lovely and very heartfelt. Great plot and page turningly interesting :-) Swoony too! Loved it. Hope the author is hard at work in another right now!

Another fun adventure

Emily got on my nerves a bit more in this one, but it continues to be an enjoyable series.

Can anybody make me their fairy queen?

This book is a cup of the most comforting tea as well as the fluffiest robe. Not to mention an encyclopedia for anyone venturing to a fairy realm, such as Elfhame

Adventurous, Tender, and Unexpected

What a beautiful conclusion! This story was every bit as stunning as the previous two, with the added benefit of detailing more of Emily's feelings and impressions in her journal entries. The story was adventurous, tender, and often unpredictable! It is exactly the sort of meandering tale that concludes in a neat bow that I've come to expect from Fawcett.
