Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands

2/5. More about the professor studying the fae and her secretly fae colleague/love interest.

Yeah, I’m out. This has its charms – our protagonist not understanding how to people, for one. But I cannot believe I’m the only person to have a huge problem with the hero here, who is an academic fraud. He admits it, other people catch him at it, and these books, down to their core, do not care. They might even think it’s cute. It doesn’t even make sense – surely our protagonist should care, given he is essentially polluting the academic body of work that she has dedicated her life to by introducing all sorts of falsified information. And yet she doesn’t, at all, and I just can’t fuck with any of that.
