1. Did this feel almost like a normal dream (fae characters, human girl who's REALLY good at painting, everyone's royal)? Yes.
2. Did it also feel just a bit weird (ugly glamours, blood = pretty flowers??)? Yes.
3. Was it still more on the fun dream side than the nightmare one? Yes. Will be able to tell friends & family about it.
4. Will I forget about it very soon? Yes.

The adult/minor relationship is between a 17 year old human and an immortal fae, though there's no real maturity difference between them. The death of parents happens off page, mentioned a few times.aidamaria_reads's review against another edition

I can also appreciate both Isobel and Rook’s flaws. Perfect characters make it harder to relate to their struggles. Just like it happened to Isobel, all sides to Rook (even the less charming ones) grew on me and I could certainly understand Isobel’s Craft being the very thing that gives her life, despite not being immortal. Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating from me!

I also strongly believe that books should not all be rated on the same scale but according to what the are trying to be. I'm pretty sure this book was trying to be an emotional and whimsical fantasy romance so... I think it succeeded! I love an easy fantasy romance *standalone* where I don't have to get invested in a series of 3+ books. The world was interesting, the relationship was spicy (very questionable imo, but spicy), and the ending was satisfying while still leaving things to the imagination. Definitely will pick up the newer Margaret Rogerson.
