This was such an adorable and whimsical story full of magic, folklore, discovery and adventure.

I love how it was transported into such an enchanting and atmospheric world, full of interesting and layered characters. The world building was so easy and simple to follow, and I found myself really enjoying a completely different and unique take on different kinds of fairies, their worlds and rules.

I love how the audio version of this story made it become more cinematic, and like I was right there in the story.

The story started off a bit slow, but at about the halfway mark it took off.

The chemistry between Emily and Wendell was quirky and delightful. They are the epitome of opposites attract and their witty banter was so fun and had me laughing so many times.
