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

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.

Irish and character couple.

like the freedom to listen instead of read. works great in the car....or home..
but what is the 15 world requirement?

Outstanding Performance, Beautiful Conclusion

I will lay my only grievance at the front so that it may not hinder the joy that this book brought me with all of the things I did love. It dragged a little bit in the center. The pacing in general could have been much improved upon. But you must understand that this may be a failing of mine since I prefer breakneck fast paced high tension storytelling. While this story took a leisurely stroll at moments and I don’t necessarily think that will be a problem for everyone. But I think this was a beautiful conclusion to this three part series. It was charming, clever, and whimsical and romantic. There was a part of the end that left me teary. I highly recommend this series. I wish there were more like it and I can’t wait to read more of what this author has in store.
I recommend this book to people who like stories such as Howl’s Moving Castle, Ella Enchanted, East, Uprooted, and The Blind Prince. And if you have not read any of those and liked this book, then I highly recommend you read those as well. Happy reading

Wonderful

Enthralling, exciting, suspenseful, satisfying… worth the wait. The story still offered unexpected twists and turns that made book three well worth the wait.

Wonderful

Ups and downs and with comfortable familiar friends. Twists and turns surprises. Tears and laughter.

Great people and story

Heartwarming adventure and thrilling wit! Love all the details. The plot twists and stories are perfect. Thanks so much!
