The overall story kinda ticks me off and for me the people aren't really likeable. The emperor had his reasons but he didn't even get a redemption arc, we are just expected to suddenly like him. I also really liked the fl in the beginning but she was set on disappearing and had everything ready only for the emperor to destroy her ship and imprison her just to set her free again. She returned after she learned that the emperor is "evil again", has anger issues and depression. For me this feels like she feels obligated to return to him so that the empire won't suffer. I know blah blah she's in love with him and chose that and was unsure cause of og fl but if ur set on disappearing twice then I don't think u only get back to him cause you love him. We also didn't really get sides from both on how and why they fell exactly so I don't think this feels natural to me. Also burning down villages and ships and so cause you want is a no go. Also he had the candle so he would know if she died, why not confirm and then go there??? Idk abut this I'm not interested enough to keep reading that
