The Dreamer and the Marked
by Airic Fenn
*Thank you to Airic Fenn for a copy for me to review*
When I got the email asking if I’d like to review this book, the synopsis immediately drew me in. I started reading the first chapter on the authors website but stopped because I was going to want to read it all. And I was correct, the first chapter sucked me in. This book is a whirlwind and never leaves you bored in its 442 pages.
The Dreamer and the Marked follows Krystal who never quite believed her Mam’s stories that her biological mother wasn’t human. That is, until she meets Draqa, a stranger from her dreams who tells her she’s part fae. She does the unthinkable and follows him back into his world, Arai, without understanding that Draqa could be executed if she was found out to be someone from the human realm. Draqa wants to get Krystal off his hands before anything could happen, but unrest is high among the fae and those who they deem enemies.
This fantasy world was definitely something different and I loved it. There are half fae, half dragons, fae, brownies, and so many more.
Draqa and Krystals relationship from the beginning is rocky. Draqa is someone who doesn’t trust easily. I love how their relationship grows so steadily throughout the entire book.
As for representation, we have a bi MMC, asexual & demiromantic FMC, queer side character, and trans side character.
I highly suggest looking at this book! It was really good and I think fae lovers would love this. It’s both political but also lots of adventures. Romance is not a big part of the story, but there is one side relationship, and I can see Airic is doing something between 2 of the protagonists ;)
