She is almost naively sweet--but she's also been through (literal) hell and back; all she wants is to be accepted by the family that betrayed her--but she's also here for revenge on them--but she's doesn't take it right away and you wonder if she can really bear to acknowledge that they're never going to love her; she's clever and strategic--but she's also a bit hot headed; she's possibly OP when fighting against the dead--but she's also severely lacking in political/social power with the living. Lynn is righteous and kind and out of control and ambitious and humble. Marquis Rubel is ruthless and unapologetic and cruel, but he also couches his interactions with Lena with words of kindness and love.

Lena is not the classic “always good” MC that doesn’t feel angry neither wants to kill her father, she gives him chances to be forgiven, but he just keeps going his way. She searches for the good in everyone, but is ready to stop when she sees its pointless. Still, it’s not perfect, she is sometimes hotheaded but in the right way? Lynn is also a very very good written character, showing consideration, force. Also, the villain here aren’t the “they’re villains because they are” but actually did horrible things, are sociopaths, and aren’t afraid to admit it.
