I adore these books and the characters Heather Fawcett has created. She somehow manages to write a world that is both comforting and cozy but also horrifying. The descriptions of some of the fae folk will seriously make your skin crawl. At the same time there are beautiful descriptions and an engaging story with lovable characters that makes you feel like you are truly on an academic adventure with Emily and Wendell. Overall this is a lovely fantasy series and beautifully written. I can't wait to go back for book 3.
