they could have turned her story into something really rich about how honest intentions and nobility can be undermined by bad circumstances, ego, rage, human weakness.

Or I feel like they're also flirting with the same thing they did with the Dragons in Essos killing innocent kids. Yeah the Dragons are glorious beings, but they can't fit in human society however much we want them to. They're saying the same thing about the "benevolent dictator."

Maybe they'll get there, on either of these stories or some other one. But they're certainly being more ham-fisted about getting me to hate her than they were about getting me to love her.
