Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales (Emily Wilde, #3)

This wasn’t a 5-star read for me, but I nonetheless really enjoyed this book and the series as a whole. It’s such a comfort read.
The author managed to create a very immersive world that draws you in so easily every time.
She also created a great cast of characters. I liked all of them and I loved Emily. She has a very distinct voice and character. She’s complex, and I love how she grows over the course of this series and starts to open up more.
Also side note, Emily is 31 (or something) and also acts like it which really stood out to me because I read so many books lately in which the fmc are supposed to be around that age and then act like they’re barely 18.. 🙄 So that was a nice change.
The reason for the 3 stars is that for me this kind of story doesn’t completely hit the spot. The stakes just weren’t that high or at least never felt that high to me and that made it a bit boring sometimes. But on the other hand, that’s probably what makes it a perfect comfort read.
All in all, I think this was a lovely conclusion to the series, but also my least favourite out of the three.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
