Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett

[theaologies]

Emily and Wendell deciding they are life partners whether they’re romantic or not before they’re romantic at all and completely on accident without thinking about it whatsoever just because they’re absolutely fascinated by one another is SOOOOOOOOO good

The problem is not the packing, I admit; I simply dislike travelling. Why people wish to wander to and fro when they could simply remain at home is something I will never understand. Everything is the way I like it here.

I knew you were the real threat. Mortals always are, aren’t they? If you read the stories. The arrogant faerie prince who can make gold from straw is always undone by the humble miller’s daughter, not some powerful rival of his own stature.

Emily Wilde Map of the Otherlands October 6th Entry

[malachiasz]

Finished reading Emily Wilde’s map of the otherlands today and it was a wonderfully wild ride.

Spoilery speculations below.

Is it just me or is Emily probably a faerie descendant? Maybe daughter to that Taran guy? I think there are some things that indicate just that.

1) her bond with Shadow.

2) her stand-offish ways with mortals. Especially in book 1, she was like more faerie than Wendell.

3) her great luck throughout her career.

4) how she stepped through that faerie door easily even though Ariadne was having trouble. Emily explained it away but I’m still suspicious.

5) Wendell said that the only remarkable thing about mortal children of faeries is that they have a greater comfort in more unpleasant environments than mortals. And well…? Describes Emily.

6) Eichorn said that she has good insticts for faerie things and she really does.

7) She felt unfounded closeness with Irish Faerie. Why? Because her FATHER is FROM THERE!!!

8) She remained (relatively) clearheaded in Faerie which surprised that other mortal guy.

9) and lastly and most convincingly, as Wendell said, why else would the queen’s brother help her?

So I think she’s part faerie but not half, if Taran is her father. What I can’t make sense of is how Wendell has failed to notice (unless he thinks this also something she has to figure out herself) and why Emily isn’t stunningly beautiful then. Well. We will see. Maybe I’m wrong about all of this.

Wendell talking about Orga reminds me so much of Gale talking about Tara.

Well, that’s decided it - Emily Wilde (and Shadow) are amongst my favourite protagonists ever ♥️

EMILY WILDE'S MAP OF THE OTHERLANDS by Heather Fawcett

RELEASE DATE: Jan. 16, 2024

A strong second outing for a well-built world and an interesting, strangely well-matched pair of lovers.

The second in a series chronicling the adventures of an English dryadologist—an academic studying faeries—in an alternate Europe.

Emily Wilde has refused the marriage proposal of her former academic rival, Wendell Bambleby, because she would be mad to marry a deposed faerie king disguised as a human. But she has devoted herself to finding a door into his kingdom, which would allow him to take back the realm stolen from him by his stepmother. Emily’s quest takes her to the isolated Alpine village of St. Liesl, accompanied by Wendell and two unexpected companions: Emily’s niece Ariadne, an aspiring dryadologist, and Farris Pole, the prickly head of the Dryadology Department, who blackmailed Emily into including him. Much of the plot follows the outline of the previous volume, Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries (2023): Emily and her cohort stay in a guesthouse; everyone but Emily manages to befriend the locals (she's hopeless at social niceties); Emily encourages hikes into the countryside, where they have perilous encounters with the local faeries; and Emily’s determination leads her to behave rashly, endangering everyone's lives, until her cleverness and intuitive understanding of faerie behavior allow her to triumph. But Emily’s adventures remain entertaining, thanks to the neurodivergent heroine whose blunt behavior and affinity for peculiar logic present a problem when interacting with humans but prove an asset with faeries. This book also offers new emotional depths for Emily, who struggles with her growing but potentially life-threatening love for Wendell, unexpected affection for her niece, and fraught relationship with Farris Pole. Now that she has people to care about, the previously solitary young woman has to reckon even more closely with the consequences of her behavior and how it affects those around her. Emily feels like a character worth following; hopefully the next installment shakes up the format a little. A strong second outing for a well-built world and an interesting, strangely well-matched pair of lovers.

Emily Wilde is THE neurodivergent rep queen. Her parents find her weird and off-putting. She gets to a new town and immediately offends them. She has to constantly remind herself to show empathy. She pulled a faerie king with the power of autistic rizz. Truly the representation we all deserve.
