depictions of toxic relationships and how most of the book got you stuck in that relationship too. I didn't love the fact that the emotion only went from angry to weeping and there was a bit too much talk of Angus.Graphic: Toxic relationship, Pandemic/Epidemic, Kidnapping, and Gaslighting
Moderate: Death and Grief
Minor: Forced institutionalization, Vomit, and Death of parent

I liked this a lot. It reminded me a bit of "An Enchanment of Ravens" and "Uprooted".

I ilked that she didn't give in to the Dreamer and that she didn't fall in love with him.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.
