Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales

I've read the last book of the Emily Wilde series in one sitting. They actually did it! After a long search Emily and Wendell are finally able to steal back his throne. But the old queen has cursed the kingdom and once again it's up to Emily to find a way to save it. I loved this series so much. I really wanted to take my time with the last book simply because I didn't want to say goodbye...but than it was way to tempting so I had to read it in one sitting. In this book Emily is confronted with new challenges, some of them forcing her out of her confort zone. Wendell tries to be understanding and helpful but sometimes Emily has to do what she needs to do in her own way. We get some really nice links to the two previous books and in my oppinion an ending that completes the series perfectly.

Returning to Emily’s world was as natural as coming home to one’s family and friends. Characters new and old appear in the final stretch of securing Wendell’s kingdom once and for all, creating the most lovely and whimsical fairy tale inspired ending to this trilogy. I really enjoyed the journey in this book, it really reflected a bunch of fairy tale tropes, combined with our socially-awkward heroine, who somehow always knows how to solve even the strangest most unforeseen circumstances. I am quite sad this series is over, but it is definitely one of those heartwarming adventure stories that reminds you of all the fairy tales you used to read as a child. Highly recommend!

I adore Hearther Fawcett's way to write. It feels like a fairy tale for adults and is the perfect slow palette cleanser. The book feels cosy, without being boring and everyone is just so charming. I'll always have the best time, getting lost in Emily Wildes World. A wholesome ending and I'm both happy and sad to have to part with it.

I sadly didn't like this third installment as much as the other two, but Emily and Wendell still managed bewitch me. I liked the new atmosphere of the kingdom in faerie, but the inter-personal relationships didn't catch me as much this time around. I'd still recommend reading this and if there will ever be a fourth one, I'm gonna be the first to buy it <3
