I liked this a lot. It reminded me a bit of "An Enchanment of Ravens" and "Uprooted".
There are one or two things that are left unanswered in my opinion, which I don't like but still it was a nice folklore based book.
The audiobook helped with the Scottish names and the narrator war good too.
Someone said this had spice in it but other than a few mentions of doing more than kissing there was no real mention or a description of it.

The beginning of the book for me was a little on the slower side, and I didn't get engaged until about halfway through. Although when I did get hooked, I was HOOKED. The second half the book was very good and I greatly enjoyed it.
I think I was more satisfied with the ending than I expected, I personally would have caved to The Dreamer. I felt like the pacing was the main issue with the book, sometimes it felt too slow, and other times it felt like it sped past things way quicker than it should have. I also wished it had leaned more into the horror of the Fae, but that might be more personal preference.
I did enjoy the book a lot, and I thank Harper Voyager for the e-ARC.
