Faye is a horse that has been beaten to death already so I’m not gonna talk about her.
I’m pretty disappointed in how Rinea is treated in the story, she pretty much exists to die and drive home that Berkut has lost his mind. It would have been interesting to see her and Berkut get into an argument about their ideological differences at some point. Or for her to have an active part in the war like her trying to guide him into choosing more peaceful options, or do literally anything at all besides commentating on how she hates violence.
But what I really don’t like is the fact that she reconciles with the man who sacrificed her so that he could gain greater power, it rubs me the wrong way. I get that he wasn’t in his right mind and she’s very forgiving, but still I think it sends out a message that they (hopefully) weren’t intending to.
Overall she and Faye feel like they exist just to exist pretty much, really nice designs but not much else.
