As some one whos read the novel, this story was really the story of Rashta, a sl@ve who did what she could to survive. arguably her story was the more interesrting one to follow. But becuase we are following the Remarried Empress, on a surface level, Rashta is nothing more then a villian. She wasnt smart enough or crafty enough to actually consolidate followers, make schemes to stay in power and plan for the future of her child. A lot of the "planning" on her end were suggestions form people taking advatage of her or copying Navier. No one truley suported her. Even the emporer got bored of his new interest and thought he could fall back to the previous empress. He took her for granted. Rasta didnt have the advatage of being reborn or reincated into this role. She really had no real chance. Thats part of the reason Naviers story, after getting divorced, seems slow and boring.
When we get down to it its just her adjusting to a new place, showing off her political experience and slowley falling in love. Shes living her life. On the other hand stuff is spiraling out of control for Rastha because she was delusonal enough to believe others where really respecting her and thought she was smart enough to understand what was happenng arund her without knowing anything about the history of families in the empire, there political ties, relationships with other families and basic trade of other counties. With that said, im glad shes gone. This might actuallly be a mercy for Rashta, this was truley a world she was never prepared to enter. It feels unfair. There was no other ending for her. Its so easy to hate Rastha as the author has named her the villan vsing the perfect female lead. Even in her de@th she imagined ,somehow, being forgiven by Navier. Its so child like. Glad to see her go.
