The antics of Emily and Wendell continue to entertain! I appreciate the change of location in each installment, giving us the opportunity to learn from the environment alongside Emily Wilde while she provides us with her applicable research.

Another great tale in the Emily Wilde series. Once again, full of lighthearted adventure and dangerous creatures of the faerie realm, Emily and Wendell attempt to reclaim Wendell's realm. The setting is described in detail and the characters are always fun to read about. I have enjoyed reading this series and would recommend it to anyone who likes adventure and danger, but in a cozy, British way.

This series has consistently gotten better with each entry. This final book? I adored it and am so happy to give it 5 stars.

Emily has grown so much throughout the books. She has learned to open herself to other people and welcome them into her life. However, she is still very no-nonsense and determined to do things her way. And I love that Wendell knows exactly how she is and loves those things about her.

I also enjoyed seeing characters from the 1st and 2nd books. They were not just token appearances but played a part in the book.

The ending was very good, but I’m sad it’s over. I am looking forward to what Heather Fawcett writes next.
Thank you to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Del Rey for the ebook ARC of this book.

I fell more in love with this series as I read it and this was simply the perfect way to end it!

I hope we return to Faerie someday!

Truly truly enjoyed this novel. This whole series has been an absolute delight. I'm looking forward to whatever Heather writes after this! She is genuinely a very funny author and I've devoured all of her books so far!

I just adore this series and its version of fae so much. I wanted a bit more Wendell & Emily Moments but loved what we got. I thought this was a lovely conclusion, but would enjoy seeing some side stories in this universe someday. There’s so much potential!

Emily Wilde (#3) was an excellent read. The writing was propulsive and the character development was rich. I would read more from this author.

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book. This is the third in the Emily Wilde series and my favorite of the series. Emily makes it to Wendell’s world to help him take back the throne. She gets to experience his world while facing daunting obstacles along the way.

Heather Fawcett continues with Emily Wilde Book Three: Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales. Emily Wilde is a folklore scholar at Cambridge and now the fiance of the fae prince Wendell; they embark to claim his kingdom believing his mother the queen is dead. Unfortunately Emily realizes they are caught up in fae stories that can destroy them and the kingdom. Read how Emily works her scholarly way through folk tales to save her fiance now husband from death and the wrong tales. Unusual story telling with complex plots and interesting fairy realms.

This was such a fun read. I love Emily and have enjoyed being on this journey with her. This book was charming, fun and heartwarming. I loved the folklore aspect to the book and the idea that a scholar could use their skills to best fae is a very fun one. That being said, I do feel like this book fell a bit flat for me compared to the others. Everything felt just a bit easy. The other books had challenges, yes, but not as many and they took Emily longer to puzzle out.
I did love these books and will recommend them to all of my friends.

I enjoyed being back with Emily and Wendell! The whimsical nature of the fae, the description of the their world and all its magic were charming as usual. The story itself didn’t have the same oomph, though. It felt like a compilation of side missions that moved along at a pace where I didn’t feel the gravity as much as I should have. I still love this series and I’m glad I got to read this.

Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales is the third and final installment in the Emily Wilde collection. It is a satisfying though slow conclusion to the series. The characters we already love are all here, but new ones are underdeveloped. There are many conflicts that are resolved almost too quickly with another immediate problem to contend with. There was too much time apart for Wendell and Emily in this novel when their banter is one of my favorite things about this series overall. The pacing of the narrative feels choppy, and I struggled to finish this one despite flying through the first two. Overall, it was nice to see a resolution to Emily's story.
Thanks to NetGalley and Del Rey for this ARC!

I absolutely adore this series, and this installment provides such a satisfying conclusion. What I especially appreciate is the academic aspect of the story; it's fascinating to learn about the different types of Folk. While there’s more romance and fewer adventurous moments this time around, there are plenty of delightful Wendell and Emily scenes that left me completely content. I couldn't ask for more! I highly recommend this book to anyone who’s looking for a cozy fantasy that delves into the academic side of faeries. Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for the ARC, I had such a fun time reading it!

Having read the first two in this series, I felt like I needed to read the third, even though Book 2 was not my favorite. This installment, however, went back to more of what made the first book so successful. One of the things that appealed to me the most is the return of familiar characters from the first book. There was largely one location for the story to take place, in Wendell's kingdom, so there could be a depth to the setting that is difficult to achieve when things are constantly changing.. Wendell is crowned king, and Emily is treated as his queen, even though they have not yet married. This is a very difficult transition for her as she does not see herself as the royal type. She does find her footing there, and Wendell's acceptance of her as she is makes all the difference.

If you enjoyed the first two books, this one is a must read!

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

This was not my favorite book of the series because the pacing felt the slowest. However, that being said, beloved characters continued being lovely (for me, those characters are Shadow and Poe). This story did come full circle and tied the trilogy together well.

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I love this series!!! I would read a hundred more of these books if I could. 10/10 series! Thank you Heather Fawcett and Del Rey for my NetGalley copy!!

Fans of the Emily Wilde series will find satisfaction with this third book. Emily Wilde, fairy-ology academic, and sometime adventurer, really digs into the fairy world first hand. She learns about herself and her place in the world, finds her inner strength, explores the real world of faerie with her fiance the faerie prince, while battling the evil Queen, and new darker villains. Not my favorite of the series but a satisfying ending.

What a wrap-up to Wendell's journey back into the seat of power for his realm! I love Emily and the way that her mind works. The world is built in such a way that you almost do not feel it as the world is built up around you brick by brick.

What a perfect ending to a wonderful trilogy series! Emily has travelled to Wendall's world which is in a state of disarray. The wonderful fantasy world, descriptions and the academic writing with footnotes are my favorite part of this series and this one did not disappoint.

How does Heather Fawcett keep getting better?!

Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales is the perfect capstone to the Emily Wilde trilogy! Emily travels to Wendall's realm only to find it in disarray with the absence of the Queen. In the midst of finding a cure for the realm, Emily has to decide where she belongs. As a queen of Faerie or a scholar at Cambridge.

The Compendium is a wonderful exploration of folklore and the impact it can have. I cannot recommend this enough!
