I would just like to say that in the first Land of Stories book (the wishing spell) that if Mira (the evil queen’s bf) was a girl the story would be a lot better. Think about it: one of the most famous villains in history was lesbian. I think it fits. Also, I’m crazy for backstories to be perfect.

Redemption Arcs in Tlos

Okay, but Chris Colfer actually nailed redemption arcs. It's not a "they didn't do anything wrong". They did, they have their trauma and reasons, and the only thing to help them improve is a second chance, most notably with the Evil Queen and Evil Stepmother. These redemptions are saved only for those genuinely feel terrible about their mistakes, and who work to improve going forward. Forgiveness was also covered really well in these two characters and relationships.

Snow White & Evly: Snow White chooses to forgive her stepmother. She learns more about Evly’s past, and makes the decision to forgive her. I think that this is something Snow White needed to do for closure, as in the prologue of book 1, these loose ends in her life are haunting her, and for her, freeing Evly and letting her finish her story is the way to move on.

Cinderella & Lady Iris: this one’s different, because it’s not about forgiving, it’s about second chances. By the end of book 2, Cinderella has very much moved on in her life, and grown past her relationship with her stepmother. Lady Iris, on the other hand, has not, and is unable to do in the Charming Kingdom, where her mistakes and behavior are public knowledge and judged by everyone around. So, when given the chance, she makes the decision to start over with her daughters in a new world, and Cinderella is happy that both of them are able to go their separate ways on better paths.

I don’t always like the way redemption arcs are done, because a lot of the time it’s a quick “forgive and forget”, but I think this series is filled with a lot of really rich arcs, and these are just two examples of how I would love to see more villains redeemed.

Request: Your sona!

I don’t have any sonas, but I can remember quite a few characters in books that were just so relatable they popped out of the page. This one is Evly, from the Land of Stories, and she wore her heart on her sleeve… literally.
