This follows the twins Fern and Ollie who used to be good friends growing up but then Ollie becomes popular and Fern does not and Ollie is in a group that bullies Fern.
Fern struggles in every day life because people won't stop staring at her. When her brother Ollie gets selected to join the knights of a dream world called Annwn and she does not, she tries everything she can to become a knight as well. Their mother was a knight and this is the only way to figure out how she might have died.

I enjoyed this book although it feels like a premise I have read several times before. Not so much the dreamworld alternate reality of it but more the whole chosen ones story. I thought it was pretty predictable and I had guessed who the golden Treitre was from the start and I also guessed the ending. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but I do like to be surprised every now and then.

I did like the characters in it and my favourite character was Samson. Fern and Ollie were okay characters too but I had a hard time warming up to Ollie because of everything that has happened but I think he really grew throughout the story. I think the character development was very well done as I could see clear growth in both Ollie and Fern.
