Story Synopsis: We meet Emily Wilde, a young Oxford professor who puts her research above all else. She's logical, level-headed, and listens to her head (not her heart). She's on her last research trip to wintry Ljosland to study the Hidden Ones of the area before completing her Encyclopaedia. While there, Emily makes some mistakes interacting with the locals, but more than makes up for it as her research on the Hidden Ones uncovers unexpected knowledge, friendship, and love.

Likes: This novel was fun, well-written, and exciting! I appreciated seeing a female protagonist with such a level-headed, unemotional approach to the world. Her professional curiosity is inspiring, and I could absolutely relate to her personality. Fawcett does a great job of developing three-dimensional side characters you root for even though they are "minor" characters.

Comments: Thank you to the publishers who provided an Advanced Reader Copy for me!
