Your opinion is correct, I could say more since I read the novel but everyone has reason for acting the way they do- everyone is complex and unlike that. I only really dislike the crown prince and the empress.. haha
Spoiler- im pretty sure a lot of the hatred is also cuz he’s ashamed that he’s attracted to her that’s why he’s so harsh on her… they’re fucking half siblings lmfao
In one of the chapters he strangles her, and also they get into some fight where he finds out her weakness (her liking varkas) so she tells him that she knows that at night he looks for maids with honey colored hair and blue eyes.. and it was implied he was attracted to her
Also the empress is really bad lol she sees her daughter as a pawn but we already knew that, in the next arc its where Thalia gets seriously injured and we find out it was planned by the empress so she could blame varkas for failing his duty and making him marry Thalia- varkas is such a pookie he loves his wife sm its so cute tbh it could be frustrating at times but u can’t hate varkas nor Thalia…
I was lwk on the fence with the crown prince before but knowing hes acting that way cuz of his own indecent thoughts makes it easier to hate him
How is it half the comments seem to have like the reading comprehension of ppl who never finished elementary school..? I'm almost impressed really. I feel so bad for the author cuz they clearly put work into making the characters feel real, but then we got ppl who only look at the pictures and decide "that one look angry so that one bad" "that one lash out so that one evil" "that one do something I no understand so that one also evil".
Like, so far we've seen one or two characters that (with our limited information) truly seem "bad" (the Prince who was particularly cruel even as a child, though I could honestly argue that he's more stupid than evil. He likely sees her as one in the same with her mother, who he has every right to hate. And her mom: having so little care for your own flesh and blood is unforgivable in my eyes, but I can empathize with some of her actions, like wanting her daughter to be stronger so she can survive. I just feel like she overdoes it.)
If you find yourself feeling any of the other characters are evil, I'd like you to explain, cuz most of what I've seen they're all just victims of their circumstances doing the best they can to survive, yk? When you've been shown time and time again that this is what you need to do not to be mistreated, that's what you'll do. When one of the only 2 people who show you any sort of warmth who you've fallen for only seems to have eyes for another, it only makes sense there would be resentment. She doesn't seem to mistreat thalia cuz of it, even with her misunderstandings of thalias character.
We don't know much about the knight, but he's yet to do anything to thalia. He seems to try to be there for her in any way he can while upholding his duties.
Maybe I'm the one misunderstanding or yall js ragebaiting and I'm slow or sum cuz it's genuinely baffling that people seem to have turned this into a black and white scenario
