My biggest dislikes were the writing style (how the words formed sentences) and the ending. There’s nothing wrong with the authors writing style it’s just not one that I tend to enjoy as much. The ending felt too fast and not quite right for reasons I can’t articulate. 
Otherwise I loved this! I loved reading the myth from Elaine’s POV and I loved getting a different version than I’ve seen before, particularly of Gwen. I absolutely loved the women-centric telling of the myth and the evocativeness of the scenes Sebastian painted.
