I'm sad to say I was super bored by this. I loved the first one, but I really struggled through this one. I'm not sure if it's a mood thing or what because I can't really put my finger on what was different about the books.

Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands is the rare example of a sequel that is better than the first book. Even more - it's the second book in a trilogy, traditionally the volume that I like the least! And yet I found myself completely charmed and invested from the very first page of this volume.

Despite the characters not being as memorable as the ones in the first book, I still very much enjoyed this book. I love the way the relationship between Emily and Wendell is progressing. I feel like they know each other and are very comfortable with each other, and that’s everything. The story itself is interesting and I think my favorite part was discovering the doors. I also love the journey into Wendell’s kingdom and getting a glimpse of it. I’m excited to see more of it in the next book.
