What makes Aria a compelling character is that she has a definite goal in mind. She acknowledges her deeds as evil and does not try to justify it with "im doing this because they did it to me first so im not doing anything wrong". However, like any human would, her character does develop and she learns to trust sarah, the prince, jessie and those who genuinely cares for her bit by bit without her original villainess character slowly fading in oblivion. Not only that, most of her future achievements are born from her own hardwork, not just from the knowledge from her previous life. The story is quiet good, although not the best, but what makes it worth the read is Aria's journey to fulfilling her revenge and finding redemption at her 2nd chance in life. Oh, and also Mielle's stupidity that ultimately led Roscent family to their doom.
