Our June book club pick is Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett.
The fantasy follow up to Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Fairies is one you have to check out. This spellbinding tale continues the story of Emily Wilde and a handful of beloved characters we’ve come to love from the series (no spoilers, in case you haven’t read the first novel). Emily has completed her encyclopaedia and is attempting to chart the mysterious dwellings of fae. This falls in line with a couple of other missions she hopes to succeed in, all the while growing more confident as a scholar and partner.
To create a perfect mix of fantasy, action, romance and comedy suggests great talent, a talent that is present in this novel. This is furthered by the development of both the story and characters, who reach new heights in the sequel.
In my opinion, this book is even better than its predecessor and has made me even more excited for the one to follow. The author has showcased a tremendous skill for creating a rich and enticing world that has (ironically) enchanted this reader from start to finish.
Heather Fawcett's Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands is available now via Hachette Australia.
