No no, just because slavery back then was an economic backbone doesn't mean people thought it was alright, as if their thinking was so much more different to how we think now. So even that excuse (second to last sentence) doesn't really hold up. You've got it all right.
I used to l like this, then I went to read the novel and quit halfway when I heard the spoilers about sovieshu's daughter and what followed, like I understand that the story isn't a moral story because even the protagonists aren't good people they are just on the winning side and are more privileged, but that's exactly the problem, if you're making the losing side look bad then at least make the winning side look good, and if you're not justifying the good side's evil, then at least don't make them too innocent. And what was Sovieshu biggest crime? Most readers would say bringing rashta in, that's funny because he's done worse. This on the other hand can't even be called bad because they aren't from the 21st century. Anyway this story not for me or anyone who wants genuine consistent characters
