Thank you HarperCollins UK and NetGalley for providing me an e-arc in exchange for an honest review. My review is my own and not influenced by others.

I got the opportunity to read this e-arc provided by HarperCollins UK and I’m honored they contacted me to read and review this book.
However, this book didn’t work for me even though the description sounds really good. I’ve decided to DNF the book at 42% because the writing style kept pulling me out of the story and I felt cringy everytime I decided to continue reading.

It can be a 'not working for me ' but 'working for others' kind of book so I would suggest to give it a try if you like the description. For me it was better to DNF it and pick another book to read.

This book was a bit difficult for me to get through, but it was rewarded in the end. I thought that the plot of this story was very intriguing and it was well met with Harwood's beautiful prose.

Moira Jean was a lovable character and she showed strength and resolve with her journey to free her friends and meet the Dreamer's demands.

This book is perfect for readers of the Y.A. genre who loved books like The Cruel Prince. It has the same fairy allure that Black wrote.

However, there were some formatting difficulties that were a little hard to look past, some dialogue being mixed up with shorter lines in the Kindle version, but that can be easily fixed.

Moira Jean has known very little of magic, until now. For instance she learns the Fae detest iron. And she needs this knowledge because the Fae have spirited her friends away, after a night of drinking and dancing outdoors, in a Scottish village. In order to save her friends, she has to make a bargain with their lord. Will she succeed? The reader will have to find out, because I recommend this book, and I will not say any more for fear of spoiling the novel. The author has created a strong character in Moira Jean and I enjoyed the development of that character.
