I knew the moment I began this, the third in the Emily Wilde series, I would fall happily into a cozy, well written, story that would take me into the faerie kingdom of Wendle and Emily, while I softly chuckled through their dialogue and wondered at Heather Fawcett's ability to paint a picture of far-off lands with words.
Compendium of Lost Tales did not disappoint. I love Emily's ability to approach situations logically while also doing everything she can to protect the Faerie King with whom she has fallen in love. The romance is sweet, but not spicy. The situations Emily finds herself in are sometimes scary, but they are quickly resolved using her brain and mustering her courage.
I always enjoy the way the story is told through academic journal entries and never seems disjointed or overly encumbered by the footnotes about historical texts. These always seem to add special bits to the story.
