3.0
Too many characters and their POVs, too many side plots, and too long for the reveal about the words on the bottom of the jar. I was excited to read this because I loved Black Cake, but much of this fell flat despite so much potential in so many of the storylines.
I read this for 2025 Popsugar Reading Challenge Prompt #19 - A highly anticipated read of 2025.
