Books Like Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands

Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands is fae prince, grumpy / sunshine & slow burn — sweet (1/5), first-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.

Following the events of the first book, Cambridge faerie folklore scholar Emily Wilde and her exiled faerie-king colleague Wendell Bambleby travel to the Austrian Alps with Emily's niece Ariadne and their abrasive department head Farris Rose to map the hidden doorways between faerie realms. While pursuing the fifty-year-old disappearance of a fellow dryadologist and racing to find Wendell's door home before his murderous mother's assassins close in, Emily must also reckon with Wendell's unanswered marriage proposal and her own guarded heart.
