Regina Rena: To the Unforgiven

Rena Rubel is a beautiful woman who has faced her share of hardships, after being offered as a sacrifice by her own father, Marquis. That is a bleak, painful start, and the series builds its engine on a heroine who has been betrayed by the people who should have protected her. The premise is about survival and the cost of being used.The strength is the heroine. Rena's resilience is compelling, and her determination gives each chapter a strong pull. The full-colour action is bold and clear.The weaknesses are clear. Revenge arcs can feel familiar, and the family drama can be heavy. Readers wanting a lighter story will find the tone difficult.Recommended for fans of wounded heroines in dark fantasy. Expect a hard, determined ride.
