"Like all good fairy tales, this book is enchantingly charming, with hints of razor-sharp teeth. My only complaint is that it ends; I want to live in Emily's Otherlands forever."--Kiersten White, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Mister Magic

"Readers will be pleased that curmudgeonly Emily hasn't lost too much of her edge, but she's still susceptible to unexpected bonds of friendship."--Booklist, starred review

"Upping the danger and the darkness while still retaining all the beauty of the prose, this takes Emily's story to new heights."--Publishers Weekly

"Love can change a person--or a faerie--in the most unexpected of ways, and it's impossible to walk alongside Emily on her journey of scholarship, mapmaking and true love without rooting for her."--BookPage

"Wilde is a fantastic character: frosty and reserved, but also generous and kind. . . . In many ways, the second Emily Wilde book is even more compelling than the first."--The Washington Post
