Spoiler
kill her dadSpoiler
Elpis sacrificing herselfSpoiler
the main character almost having to marry an older man, or the masquerade ball. It was furthermore so predictable that Theo wouldn’t kill Søren and that her plan with the poison would fail as wellSpoiler
it was obvious from the beginning that she couldn’t be trusted but my heart still dropped when she revealed Theo that she knew everything about her. She could be an interesting villain in the following booksGraphic: Blood, Confinement, Death of parent, Toxic friendship, Classism, Colonisation, Emotional abuse, Injury/Injury detail, Alcoholism, Cultural appropriation, Death, Murder, Physical abuse, Slavery, Torture, and Violence
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Kidnapping, Sexual harassment, War, Fatphobia, and Vomit
Minor: Rape and Abandonment
