Tsk. So unsatisfying.
Almost every chapter reminds us that Renatis is stronger than most men in her village, yet she doesn't know how to use that strength. She can't fight back because she's so used to being protected by Astella. I get that she's traumatized and feels helpless because of her father, but still, when she shot that arrow, it didn’t feel threatening at all. Just a weak attempt to scare him. Both Renatis and Theo are too naive. Honestly, she should’ve smacked her father with her full strength.
I’ll need to marinate on this story a bit longer.
The character growth for both the ML and FL is just too slow. Right now, neither of them seems ready to actually confront any antagonist in this story.
