Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries
von Fawcett Heather
A curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town in the far north to study faerie folklore and discovers dark fae magic, friendship, and love in the start of a heartwarming and enchanting new fantasy series.Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world's first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party--or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, and the Fair Folk.So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, get in the middle of Emily's research, and utterly confound and frustrate her.But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones--the most elusive of all faeries--lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she'll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all--her own heart.

Rezension von Kathleen ✨Ganz cute, aber die erste Hälfte war deutlich besser als die Story in der zweiten Hälfte.
Rezension von NatalieEmily Wilde - Eine Dozentin für Feenkunde in Cambridge ist auf Feldforschung für ihre noch unpublizierte Enzyklopädie, an der sie seit Jahren arbeitet. Auf einmal findet sie sich in der Situation, dass ihr akademischer Rivale und gleichzeitig auch ihr einziger Freund mit ihr auf Expedition ist und im gleichen Hüttchen leben muss. Emily in ihrer akademischen Versessenheit findet sich in ungeahnt schwierigen Situationen wieder, den zwischenmenschliche Situationen versteht Em(ily) genauso wenig wie ihre eigenen Emotionen. Zwischen der Forschung zu einem Changeling, der Entdeckung verschiedener Feen und der Befreiung eines Alten König, sowie zwei ungeahnten Heiratsanträgen - finde Emily ähnlich viele Antworten auf ihre akademischen Fragen wie neue Fragen. Eine wunderbare gemütliche Geschichte einer eunderbar sturen, ironischen Protagonistin die mehr akademische Feststellung macht als sie hätte erwarten können - und im Prozess muss sie auch sich selbst kennen lernen und ihr eigenen Emotionen gegenüber den Menschen denen sie begegnet. Das erste Buch seit langem Zeit da sich ohne weiteres hinzufügen gerne zu Ende gelesen habe und das mich gepackt hat.
