Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales by Fawcett

EMILY WILDE'S COMPENDIUM OF LOST TALES by Heather Fawcett (see others in this series) received starred reviews from Booklist and from Library Journal. Both continue to praise Fawcett’s world-building as she once again crafts dangerous adventures for dryadologist (one who studies fairies) Emily and Wendell, a fairy King. They finally venture together into Wendell’s realm, only to discover that his stepmother has cursed the kingdom, a curse that can be lifted with Wendell’s death. Determined and pragmatic, yet often impulsive, Emily refuses to accept that result and tries to find a solution through her research and scholarship. Once again, she seeks to help Wendell where “everything about the place revolves around stories. Stories shape the realms and the actions of those who dwell there.” Readers will enjoy Fawcett’s latest (February 2025 LibraryReads Hall of Fame selection) and undoubtedly look forward to more adventures.
