The Lost Sisters by Holly Black

Damn Taryn, you suck!
With a sister like that who needs enemies. Jude may not be perfect, but she deserved better.
I don’t know if this novella was supposed to make me sympathize with Taryn but it didn’t, it had the opposite effect. It’s written as If it was an apology letter and yet she doesn’t sound very apologetic. She’s still making excuses and blaming Jude for daring to strand up to their tormentors instead of humiliating herself and kissing their feet. She sold off her sister like that with no remorse whatsoever and yet she’s still speaking like she was the one wronged by her.
“You will have to forgive me because we are sisters!” she says at the end. The entitlement, my god! What a selfish and unlikable character.
