I was expecting a cozy little story about a monk and a robot going on an adventure so I was pleasantly surprised by how this book made me feel and think. Everyone has times where they feel like they've lost their purpose in life and go into a downward spiral struggling to understand what to do next to give their life meaning. And this book answers that question brilliantly, just be. That's it. Go on one adventure at a time even if it's as simple as learning to make a cup of tea.

I love the Emily Wilde series and the sequel did not disappoint. We have our favorites returning for another adventure and a new cast to aide them! There were more mishaps in this adventure but I loved that Fawcett used Emily's relationship with the small folk to help them more than Wendell's royal fae blood. I always loved Poe and I was delighted that he would make an appearance in this book!

I feel like this book needed more Slavic mythology or just more to it in general. I really hope there's a sequel so that my questions can be answered.
It was still a very beautifully written book. The way the creatures and their otherness were described makes it very easy to picture each species. And the rituals that are practiced for different spells are also well written into excruciating detail. Made me wince a few times reading them.
