I’ve actually come to love Anita as the story progressed, at first it seemed like she was a power hungry woman that wanted to destroy the throne for the power and was jealous, but it was something deeper than that. Her character is sorrowful and naive. The first emperor I felt truly did love her but was so blinded by what he lacked and scared to lose that it overpowered his love for her. I also love the appearance of the other witches, because it showed how even if we as audience hate her or the characters hate her, they still loved her and wanted some form of forgiveness for her. That to them she was just a girl, not a witch, not a species, but the girl they loved and raised, that was blinded by her love.
I love the theme about “pushover-ness” because it caused the entire fall for the witches, the empire and even our FL herself. The first emperor blinded by his fear of losing his lover and lack of treasures, when in reality he didn’t need it at all. Anita so blinded by love she was taken advantage of which indirectly caused the death of her loved ones. Theor letting everyone walk and use him to be accepted which brought the demise of the empire. FL for allowing herself to be walked over and treated like trash because she wanted the love and validation from her father, and felt it was her responsibility to bear the hate.
It all ended in tragedy because of the overpower feeling of fear and love. But at the same time these same feelings also introduced an alternative end, the ending we got. I loved how it mentions that none of this would have been possible if not for FL’s will and Anita’s will. I loved the story and personally didn’t really care for the romance or ML besides the fact he was pretty. I was more interested and intrigued with the way FL handled things, her relationship with her brother and father and the antagonist. I would’ve love a spin off with a more in depth perspective about Anita’s story from her POV or the first emperor.
