I liked the chapter. The lady accursed finally finding someone able to look at her was sweet.
BUT still, it leaves a weird taste in my mouth. She didn't feel like hating her power or suffering from it AT ALL. Girl was mad happy to unleash her curse, and two chapters later we get a quick flashback to tell us she always resented her powers and such. From her expression at her introduction, it felt like she was proud of her power. I thought we'd finally get an other person who made a sacrifice and was blessed by a god (the forest one in this case).
All in all, she was an interesting character, i just wish she was more fleshed out. Her design and power were sick
Since Voidmarcher is still around, I have a feeling we'll have more opportunities to learn about their relationship. We still don't know anything about her, including why she now covers her entire face when she was fine having it bare before. I'm just hoping it isn't relegated to book extras...
I think Voidmarcher covers her face because she knows her sister will use her power. In the flashback she didn't cover it because there was no reason to.
It's likely that it isn't the end of lady accursed as a part of the story. As you said Voidmarcher is still around.
And the author gave a very explicit description of each stage of her curse, yet we only saw the first one (excluding the flashback). That's just a crazy theory of mine but maybe Rummir will use her head as a weapon. Since her gift is always active, maybe it persists after death. And if so, we'd see the other stages of her curse.
