SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t read the first book in the series, A Study in Drowning, Stop! I don’t want to ruin the story for you.
“All stories come to an end.
Effy learned that when she defeated the Fairy King. Even though she may never know exactly what happened at Hiraeth, she is free of her nightmares and is able to pen a thesis with Preston on the beloved national fairy tale Angharad. She has finally earned a spot at the literature college, making her the first woman in history to enroll.
But some dreams are dangerous, especially when they come true. The entire university—and soon the entire nation—is waiting for her to fail. With the Fairy King defeated and Myrddin’s legacy exposed, Effy can no longer escape into fantasy. Who is she without her stories?
With Effy under threat, Preston is surprised to discover a rage simmering inside him, ringing in his ears like bells. He begins to dream of a palace under the sea, a world where he is king—visions that start to follow him even in waking.
As the war between Llyr and Argant explodes, Effy and Preston find themselves caught in the crossfire: Effy losing her dreams and Preston losing himself in his.
Are dreams ever truly just dreams?” - taken from Goodreads.
Where Drowning was Effy’s story, Dreaming tells what happens next from Preston’s point of view. Effy is the first female literature student at the college and Preston is ostracized for being Argantian. As Effy begins to spiral under the weight of school, Preston finds that he is now the one caught up in a fairytale that will change the war between neighboring nations. A bit slow in the beginning, the story picks up as Preston begins to uncover the lies.
