Emily and Wendell as well as a few new companions flee a faerie attack and head out to the Alps where it's easy to become trapped in the borderlands and maze of doors.
This book was hard to put down. It maintains the cozy atmosphere and fun banner from book 1 while adding in a new understanding of Faerie and the creatures that live there. This is a must read if you enjoyed book 1

I went into this book blind and it became pretty clear in the first half of the book that it was originally a reylo fanfiction. Although I'm sure the name ‘Adam' and the cover illustration helped in clicking that link though.

Honestly though it vives better if you're thinking of it as a fanfiction. It's quite a clumsy read as actual novel, requires suspension of disbelief of quite a few scenes to make sense.

The author writes as though he has created a groundbreaking new philosophy while just rehashing the works and stories of others. It's clear that he has lived quite a privileged life and doesn't understand why the average person might give a fuck about things such as their income or just not being an asshole to those they care about. While I generally agree that many people give too many fucks in life if his examples of the things he stopped giving a fuck about are true then the author could do with giving a few more fucks.
