I love the story. I also love how the characters were made! It's been a while since I've read something so perfect and not frustrating in the least. It's also funny whenever the siblings bonded, like, that's true for most siblings and very relatable! I love that element in the story.
I really love how they made the villain too so I'mma say some things I feel about her and that I don't agree with this revenge route she chose.
Annette and her past is pitiful alright, I'll give her that. But is it really enough for her to stoop so low as to blame the descendants of the man who betrayed her?
It was her choice to go with the emperor and follow his whims. Blaming and punishing the descendants when they didn't do anything to hurt her is like BLAMING a CHILD for their PARENTS' CRIMES. It's UNFAIR and ILLOGICAL.
It's also curious that the First Emperor from his Aide's diary is heartbroken when he learned that Annette escaped from prison. And it's also curious that he genuinely did love her but just one day he was compelled to wipe the entire population of witches from the world. He didn't even have any qualms against witches in the first place. It's likely that the god they serve actually manipulated him to do that.
If you ask me, I would blame this god of theirs. They're unfair to the witches that were only lucky to be chosen by magic and I would blame the First Emperor for doing the things he did. Annette's actions are understandable for the pain she suffered in the past but that DOES NOT justify what she did ever since she woke up.
She shouldn't take her anger out on completely innocent people and focus on getting revenge on the god instead. She makes it seem like it wasn't her fault when it was her choice that led to their doom.
