As a Oncer I love Regina. She has so much backstory to her and I always want to know more about her. I love how this book also gives us the story of her scar on her lip (not gonna give any spoilers away!) I did feel like this story was a bit rushed. There was so much more potential, so much more I wanted to know, and why, yet instead it just came to a sudden closure, which made me wish there was another book coming. You do get to see Regina interact with Snow White as well, which was a nice treat. So many hints at future stories in the Once realm, and interactions as well. I did enjoy it.
