I get it, we are supposed to feel bad for Theo. But she has few redeeming qualities, and is ultimately not redeemed or redeemable. Kaz falling for her so wholly and completely is unrealistic based on what we saw in the story. The more interesting elements of fairy lore and getting to the real twisted parts of their scheming ways would have been a better story...but instead we just get Theo. For a Cinderella retelling, nothing too new I brought to the table, and no one is a good person in any way.
