She definitely redeemed herself throughout this book. In this book, I appreciated her efforts to make things right again or at least to the point where her friends and sisters wouldn’t be in danger from the Crown. She is a bit unpracticed but it’s understandable since she left the convent at 12 and never got to finish her training. She really was trying to help but when she realized she made this colossal mistake, she does try to make amends. This book is about her trying to fix her mistakes. She can be naive, too trusting and made some really stupid mistakes in the last book. I had mixed feelings about her in the last book because let’s face it. Beast reminds her that there is light alongside the darkness in this world.

She is truly a wonderful heroine and I’m glad to see her journey extended in this duology. I have always, always loved her fierceness, her loyalty, strength and love she has for her sisters and friends, even showing kindness to the people she really dislikes. I will say this book in particular may not be my favorite out of all of the books, I still really enjoyed seeing how each characters’ story wrapped up.įirst, Sybella.
