...i don't know why everyone in the comments is so surprised with Shuraka's character - we were told that he cannot sleep cause his brothers would murder him and that to become padishah you have to kill ALL of your BROTHERS or you will be killed yourself. In my perspective, more to that, he was a child when they started to fight (i'm sure quite literally physically) over the throne. He lives in the environment where he needs to control everything otherwise he or Tei will be killed or harmed - that is exectly the reason he closed Arnata so nobody could harm Tei and whiped down anyone who could be harmful
he is a deeply traumatized child and most likely there will be a couple of reveals about his past and him keeping 2 of his brother who have the eye of Natam (especially this older one, which will play a role in the future) alive
it's actually is not like first time author plays with obsessive and red flagish charactes. it's still interesting when we'll get the reveal about Shuraka's past and more about his plans and motivation
there are spoilers on reddit, you can just google and look it up, if you're open to find out the whole plot ^_^. As for trigger warnings - ra**, incest, trafficing, s** slavery, gore, physical/mental/sexual abuse,gaslighting, manipulation and some others
But I don't know if they will keep close to the novel and I actually hope they will change some things, cause illustration style is really beautiful and cool
