"Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales" is another amazing entry into the Emily Wilde series. Emily Wilde is still one of my favorite characters I've read - she is the perfect mix of awkward and gruff that makes her so lovable. Wendell also continues to charm his way into my heart and I loved to see the small moments between him and Em.

I enjoyed seeing more if fairy and the ridiculous "politics" of Wendell's kingdom. Like the other books in the series, this is written as Emily's diary. The author's prose is very lyrical but I did feel a but bogged down by it some times.

I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a cozy fantasy read.

Rated 4 stars. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC ebook.

Thanks for the advanced copy! I quite enjoyed the latest entry in the Emily Wilde series. We are revisited by old friends and introduced to some new friends. I really like that it continues on the same vein as the others; that the story while entertaining remains calm and engaging.

Thank you to NetGalley for this advanced copy of Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales!

Heather Fawcett did not disappoint with this third installment of Emily Wilde's adventures. This third book, more than the first two, had me at the edge of my seat and took some unexpected twists and turns. Ultimately it still has the same cozy character that I fell in love with in the Encyclopedia of Faeries.

A true spellbinding read! Watching Emily transition from a scholar to a faerie queen is an exhilarating journey filled with magic, danger, and irresistible charm. Her and Wendell’s dynamic crackles with chemistry, and their struggle against a deadly curse has been thrilling. The intricate faerie realm is a stunning backdrop for their adventure, and Emily’s wit and Wendell’s enchantment create a captivating mix of romance and intrigue. As this final instalment wraps up, I’m feeling a bittersweet to leave behind such a richly imagined world and its endearing characters. This series has been a captivating journey, and I’ll miss every moment of its enchanting magic.

Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales
by Heather Fawcett is the third book in the wonderful Emily Wilde series.

This is such a unique and engaging series and is a bit off the beaten path of what I usually indulge in. However, I have enjoyed the previous books and didn’t want to miss the next.

The adventures and relationship that Emily and Wendell have experienced so far is just excellent..The epic exploits and the action, emotion, and colorful and fanciful world that has been created just always draws me in, and this one does not disappoint.

5/5 stars
