It was creepy how easily Cora found Ana’s weakness, her mother, and then played into that weakness. Ana was putty in Cora’s hands. She was easily molded into what Cora needed her to be.
It was amazing to watch the total transformation of Ana as she embraced her newfound powers of magic. Her whole body language changed. Her posture, her swagger, her facial expressions, her confidence. Wonderful acting by Cora as well. I really loved their scenes together.
