I remember seeing online that this book was marked as slow paced and seriously reconsidering buying it as thats not my forte however I read this book in just one sitting. I agree with other reveiws that the encore of roses bit at the end was a little unnecessary/ should of been done differently. I enjoyed the beginning with constanta alone rather than later with the added people and the insta love tropes didnt make much sense to me. I would of liked a better description of constantas life after the events.

. There is cringy dialogue at times
. From the beginning seemed like a big plot hole that if she can ask anything of the gods why not ask for her sister back rather than try to get revenge
(whilst it doesnt sound like it would of been possible i feel like it is plausible it would of crossed her mind first)
.

.Whatever turmoil comes upon them it just seems like the main POV character magically just escapes it seemingly by chance like heres 12 people lets spin the wheel to see who will die next skill wasnt really a factor or she probably would of lost
.The love plot seemed to come out of nowhere

The first 100 pages where quite slow but read the rest in one day. Good vibes. Slightly repetitive.

1) Ed encouraged a child who could not swim to jump into water he proceeded to do so and could have drowned the author followed this with reffering to the adults as "squabbling like children" and it isnt mentioned again for the rest of the book
2) Beca is into Griff and should not of promised the steadfast opposite to a woman who was in love with him and had a child with him
3) Griff never should of had a kid with a woman who loved him knowing that he was in love with someone else
