Do we actually see that shift in the relationship between Cora and Regina in this book or has it already happened?

I can't wait to read this book, and that possible Narnia reference has me excited. After all, Once is owned by Disney and while I think Disney doesn't own Narnia, they did adapt a number of the books, which haven't been touched since by any studio.

In regards to Regina's relationship with Cora, the shift has already happened. And Cora is 100% abusive throughout the book. It's just that with the scar that wasn't actually Cora's fault though some stuff that happened after it was. A lot of the first part of the book is Regina wanting approval, but then it transitions to Regina being a bit defiant after she realizes that it's not her not being good enough it's that Cora's standards are astronomically too high. There's a lot of stuff that I can't say yet cuz spoilers that tie into that, but you'll get it when you read it.
