Review

Emily continues to be Emily and Wendell continues to be frustratingly charming. It is a good time watching these two fall in love without fully understanding that’s what is happening (Mostly on Emily’s part). Her relationship with other’s is interesting, as she’s harsh and blunt to the point. Wendell handles it with ease, but normal people don’t and that is absolutely fair. It’s nice to see a group of people love someone very much but both are unable to show it due to how that person reacts to it. I am not a huge cozy fantasy reader, I like my action and high stakes. So, for me, the pacing of these feels like it drags its feet. I found myself continuously tempted to skim past the slower aspects. However, they are exactly the point of this and play into the cozy atmosphere. I definitely recommend this one if you love cozies and really enjoyed the first one, but I could also see people reading one and feeling as if the story is good to, feeling like they don’t need to continue.
