Fun, whimsical, with a colorful cast of characters, Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries is pretty much hit on what I look for in light academia fantasies. I was particularly enchanted by our main characters, Emily and Wendell, and their antics as their relationship develops. Some of the characters’ flaws were too dialed up sometimes, but I found that mostly fitting with the fae’s even higher level of wackiness.
Overall, come for the vibes, stay for the mess that is Emily Wilde and her feral bestie Wendell!

Hello everyone! I'm changing around the formatting of the quest forum and separating out a recommendations thread from the welcome post just to make it a bit easier for me to keep track of recommendations! Feel free to drop any recommendations for novels you think could belong in the Quest as a comment below!
In addition, in an effort to keep the Quest "fresher", additions will be mostly focused on newer releases, as in mostly novels that have only just come out in 2025-2026 and beyond. I may add some older novels if I come across them and determine they belong in the Quest enough to be added, but these will be few and far between.
If anyone is ever curious, I have a shelf to keep track of all the novels I'm currently considering to add to the quest labeled as Potential Adds to BH, which is public for anyone to look at! I will say as a disclaimer that novels on there are not guaranteed to be added, they’re just ones that are on my radar! I’m not going to explain all of my rationale for adding or not adding a novel, but I do want to be clear that I do my best to research before adding anything, and that may mean reading through recommendations I want to have a better understanding of (aka it may be awhile before a recommendation makes its way onto the Quest, if it does at all).
Thanks, and happy questing! 🍄🌹
