I’m a big Taryn hater and honestly forgot this novella existed as i’ve read the folk of the air awhile ago. I was hoping this would shed some light on her character or give more insight/ a good reason as to why she did what she did but NOPE. Something is fundamentally wrong in that girls brain which I get could be do to her traumatic childhood and what not but come on… Jude always sticking up for her was the worst part oof. I will say one part did make me a bit sad for her and that was the end quote.
“And you’re going to forgive me. You have to. You’re my sister, my twin. You’ve got to understand. If I just explain it right, I know you’re going to understand. And I am going to keep standing here and practicing it in the mirror until you stop looking at me that way when I finish”.
Meaning that she is looking at herself with hatred/ she doesn’t forgive herself which is sad but not entirely undeserving.
