DISCLAIMER: this review is for both the web comic and novel combined
재혼 황후 1 Jaehon Hwangho 1 by Alpha Tart is honestly one of the most frustrating novels I've ever read. It digs so deep into my nerves you wouldn't even understand.
I love Navier so much. I've not come across many authors that use this technique, so I was pleasantly surprised when I read about Navier. The author doesn't use character development, but instead chooses to use slow-burning character establishment. This technique is used with Rin from The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang and I respect the author so much for doing it. Navier's strong personality had no reason to be changed, she was powerful in her own brilliant ways. And this was slowly established to us through the actions that she did because ultimately, we were the only foreigners to her character in the first place. We saw her passion, her distress, her iron-will and her pain. It doesn't take a genius to realise that this is all pre-built in Navier. What a brilliant character.
**intakes a large breath**
HHHHHHHEEEEEEIIIIIINNNNNNLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.......!!
I can't do the story justice by just talking about Navier. There were so many brilliantly sketched out characters who all contributed to the progression of this masterpiece. Even that bitch Trashta. **oh? are you telling me her name was Rashta** Yeah. Trashta.

I guess I have to learn Korean now.

this will be full of spoilers lol
I HATE Sovieshu, i honestly can't explain how much I'm raging at him, he is the most stupid person i have ever had the displeasure of reading about, on the contrary - I absolutely adore Heinley, i got sooo happy when someone in a novel forum spoiled that
About Navier's ''infertilety'', I seriously don't understand why the emperor constantly says that she is infertile and even
While Sovieshu is stupid as hell, he knows that Navier is a perfect empress and that Trashta could never beat her skills-
Speaking of Trashta as many in the fandom have dubbed her, I'm not even exaggerating- 98% of the problems would have never appeared if the idiot never met the emperor, she literally ruins EVERYTHING, she puts on such an innocent face that literally makes her resemble an 8 year old and gets away with everything bc Sovieshu is there as her shield.
And also, I noticed that Navier is so much prettier than Rashta, not even kidding, first i genuinely thought Rashta was prettier but taking a closer look Navier is so much more beautiful and elegant.
The emperor clearly can't think and constantly tells Navier that she is jealous of Rashta everytime Navier brings up something about her,
EVERY
SINGLE
TIME
Heinely is my boo, he is a literal prince charming, i love him, perfection embodied.
He treats Navier like te true queen she is and literally worships her, I'm pretty sure he was trembling/almost crying when Navier sais she would be his queen.
At about chapter 83 or 84 the divorce actually happens and i read the mtl version so much is honestly very weird to read and it's sooooo slow but i think in the end it will be worth it.
At one point (i think ch 108) Sovieshu realizes what a bad empress Rashta is even if it was supposed to be only temporary (which failed because Navier requested to remarry and was granted that) and literally comes to the Western Kingdom and asks Navier to come back, HELL NO???
FYI i think it's worth mentioning that Rasthta requested to handle the budget of the kingdom and LITERALLY SPENDS IT ON HERSELF AND JEWELRY, which makes Sovieshu realize how bad of an empress she is, although it doesn't make him any less fond of her??
Rashta also has a CHILD that she had before the emperor, and even when the emperor finds out and stuff, HE STILL LOVES HER?????? I felt that their relationship was honestly kinda strained evern before but nothing really changed even after it was revealed..
Some sort of incident ocurred and made Sovieshu and some others lose political power, and I'm pretty sure the Western Kingdom which Heinley rules is coming closer to either overthrow the Eastern Empire or become independent.

Started with the manga then moved on to the fan English translation of the story until it stopped-So I'm at a similar point as a lot of people. *cries at not being able to read Korean*
I did however scour the internet to get spoilers because I just had to know what was going on. Still not the same, but I will wait to read again until the story is complete somewhere in the interwebs!

Remarried Empress หรือ การแต่งงานครั้งใหม่ของจักรพรรดินี เป็นนิยายออนไลน์ที่ยังแต่งไม่จบค่ะ มีเวอร์ชั่นการ์ตูนให้อ่านในเว็บตูนด้วย เราเริ่มต้นอ่านจากเว็บตูนก่อน แล้วก็ไปรู้โดยบังเอิญว่ามันเป็นนิยายออนไลน์ ก็เลยไปตามหาดู เจอฉบับแปลเป็นภาษาอังกฤษ ก็เลยอ่านถึงตอนล่าสุดเท่าที่คุณคนแปลแปลมาให้อ่านถึงตอน 112 ค่ะ (เราอ่านรวดเดียวเลย ติดหนึบ)
ตามสไตล์นิยายเว็บตูนนะคะ เปิดเรื่องด้วยจุดไคลแมกซ์ นั่นคือ พระราชาประกาศขอหย่ากับพระราชินีต่อหน้าขุนนาง มันเป็นการกระทำที่ไม่เคยมีมาก่อน และเป็นการทำให้พระราชินีเสียหน้าอย่างถึงที่สุด เพราะพระราชาแสดงจุดยืนชัดเจนว่าเลือกนางสนม ไม่ใช่เธอ
...เพียงแต่ว่า แทนที่องค์ราชินีที่ถูกขอหย่าจะกลายเป็นคนสิ้นไร้ไม้ตอกและหมดอำนาจ เธอกลับตอบรับคำหย่านั้นด้วยรอยยิ้ม บอกแต่เพียงว่า "ตกลง แต่พระองค์ก็ต้องอนุญาตให้เราอภิเษกสมรสใหม่ด้วยเช่นกัน" ...ก็เลยเป็นที่มาของเรื่องนี้ค่ะ
ถ้าใครชอบ "ในฝัน" หรือ "ดั่งดวงหฤทัย" รับรองว่าชอบเรื่องการแต่งงานครั้งใหม่ของจักรพรรดินีแน่นอน
มันคือเรื่องโทนเจ้าหญิงเจ้าชายเมืองสมมติ ตัวละครเป็นชนชั้นกษัตริย์ ขุนนาง มีอัศวิน มีทาสที่ดิน มีงานเต้นรำ มีการเมือง อุดมไปด้วยตัวละครที่มีเกียรติ มีศักดิ์ศรี มีความเป็นวรรณะกษัตริย์ และทุกตัวละครเย็นชาได้ใจ แสดงออกทางสีหน้าน้อยสุดๆ ดูเลือดเย็นได้โล่ (แต่จริงๆ ก็เป็นคนใจดีทั้งนั้น)
...อิหรอบนี้ มาคิดๆ ดูแล้วมันก็จัดว่าซึนเดเระอยู่เหมือนกัน เพียงแต่สมัยที่เราอ่านงานคุณทม คนยังไม่ใช้คำว่าซึนเท่านั้นเอง แต่เรื่องนี้ก็ไม่ได้มีฉากซึนๆ น่ารักๆ หรอก เรื่องนี้ทุกตัวละคร cool มากค่ะ เท่ นิ่ง เชือดเฉือนกันนิ่งๆ ทุกตัว มีแค่ตัวร้ายที่อาจจะบีบน้ำตามากหน่อย แต่นางไม่ใช่ตัวร้ายงี่เง่าค่ะ จัดว่าร้ายกาจเลยล่ะ...
ที่สำคัญ กิมมิคเรื่องนี้อยู่ที่ "การส่งจดหมาย"
แต่วิธีการส่งจดหมายเรื่องนี้คือเหนือความคาดหมายมาก ไม่คิดว่าจะเดินเรื่องแบบนี้ เก๋มากๆ ค่ะ
ในความแฟนตาซีเล็กๆ นั้นรู้สึกว่ามัน entertaining ได้อย่างพอเหมาะพอเจาะแล้วทำให้เรื่องกลมกล่อมมากๆ เรื่องเดินช้าก็จริง แต่รายละเอียดมันเยอะ ต้องค่อยๆ ปะติดปะต่อไป อ่านสนุกหยุดไม่ได้จริงๆ ค่ะ
ใครชอบนางเอกสายเย็นชา หน้านิ่ง เก่งไปเสียทุกสิ่ง รับรองว่าคุณราชินีในเรื่องนี้จะไม่ทำให้ผิดหวัง
นางไม่มีบทสนทนาหรือการกระทำงี่เง่าเลย ไม่ว่าจะเผชิญสถานการณ์แบบไหน หน้านางจะนิ่งและเก็บอาการได้ทั้งหมด คุณราชินีจะคำนวนในหัวแบบครบทุกองศาก่อนพูดหรือลงมือ ดังนั้น ภาพที่คนเห็นจะอย่างไรนางก็จะสง่างาม รักษาเกียรติแห่งราชวงศ์ได้แบบไม่มีด่างพร้อย คนก็จะยิ่งติดภาพความเย็นชาของนางต่อไปเรื่อยๆ
ในขณะที่คุณสาวน้อยตัวร้ายของเรื่องนี้ มาด้วยลุคใส บริสุทธิ์ อบอุ่น ยิ้มแย้ม ให้ความรู้สึกเหมือนแดดอุ่นๆ และทุ่งดอกไม้บาน
ถึงแม้คุณราชากับราชินีจะแต่งงานกันมานานแล้ว และเป็นค��ณราชาที่ไปปิ๊งคุณตัวร้ายคนนี้จนพาเข้าวัง แต่ความดอกไม้บานที่เจ๊ตัวร้ายแจกให้ทุกคนนั้น มันคือความอบอุ่นชนิดที่วังนี้ไม่เคยพบเห็นมาก่อน (ถึงเราคนอ่านจะรู้ว่านางก็คือตัวร้ายที่มักใหญ่ใฝ่สูงนั่นละนะ)
เอาเป็นว่า ไม่ได้อ่านนิยายทำนองนี้มานานแล้ว และคนเขียนเล่าเรื่องได้สนุกจริงๆ ค่ะ
นี่ยังไม่ได้สปอยด์ช็อตเด็ดๆ ในเรื่อง หรือหนุ่มๆ คนอื่นในเรื่องนี้เลยนะ เอาเป็นว่าเรากรี้ดกับ "การส่งจดหมาย" ในเรื่องนี้ค่ะว่า "เล่นแบบนี้กันเลยเหรอออออ" สนุกดี ชอบๆ :-)
ป.ล. ในเว็บตอนนี้ดูเหมือนกลับมาลงต่อแล้วนะคะ (ม.ค. 2021)

Did some further research into the original webnovel + the ending (the webtoon/manhwa is still coming out) and I didn't realise how problematic this story is WTH? Am I supposed to root for a protagonist who proudly ran a country where fathers could sell their daughters into slavery to atone for their own crimes? And said daughter is portrayed as the villain of the story and detested by the fanbase? And the corrupt, cheating Emperor gets away from all this scot-free? And the true love interest is a creep with little personal boundaries and unhealthy clinginess?
I'll stick to Cursed Princess Club. So wholesome and unproblematic. Read it, Sama!

في الأغلب في الروايات دي بدور على الويبتون أو النسخة المرسومة منها عشان ليه الملل و أقعد أقرأ كلام ملهوش لازمة لما ممكن أتفرج على رسومات و كلام قليل؟ خاصة إن القصص مبتبقاش أد كده و تضييع وقت فقط لكن القصة دي مختلفة و عملت فيها العكس، قرأت الرواية
و مختلفة عن القصص اللي قرأتها قبل كده في نفس التصنيف.
القصة عامة عن نايفر إمبراطورة من عائلة دايمًا بيتولد فيها الملكات و إنها تكون ملكة أو إمبراطورة هو الحاجة الوحيدة اللي بتعرف تعملها في حياتها و تم تعليمها ليها لكن ماذا سيحدث إذا قرر الامبراطور تطليقها؟ و ماذا لو ظهر شخص جديد في حياتها؟

Didn’t realize this was out. Snapped it up today, read it today. I feel badly for the MC h. What a jerk her husband ended up being! I am looking forward to the next one and for this to be listed on GR in English, as I am not able to read Korean, which I am taking steps to work on.
4, I can’t wait to see the Emperor get his comeuppance, stars!

Nací por mi madre y moriré defendiendo a la Emperatriz divorciada. ¿Tiene un fandom tóxico? Si. ¿Clasismo? Si. ¿Personajes de dudosa moral? Si. PEROOOOO ¿Que historia es perfecta en esta vida? Ninguna. Así que yo digo que no hay que juzgar mucho y disfrutar. 🤓☝🏻
Perdónenme es que me salvo en la cuarentena y le tengo mucho cariño a la historia. Y si, soy de las que defiende a Henry JAJAJAJAJA mi bb solo esta jugando, no es un chico malo. Amo a todos los personajes, Navier, Sovieshu, Rashta, siento que cada uno aporta mucho a la historia y son muy reales, no entiendo por que tanto hate. Siento qué su principal problema es su fandom tóxico.

It was a good drama I believe, the both emperor and empress have such a strong character even not gonna lie that I hate the character of the emperor.
The story very slow and really like an emotional roller coaster. Feel pity for the dumb choice of the emperor but that was make the story more interesting

I can't believe it, but I hate Rashta and Sovieshu even more in the original novel than in the manhwa. Part of that is because the novel is in first person, so we get a very clear picture of how hurt Navier is. Her husband is destroying her world and expects her to be pleased about it; it's utterly despicable. Rashta, at least, is trying to better her own life; I don't like how she's doing it, but I understand her motives.
Sovieshu? There are words for people like him, but they're in Yiddish and if I used them my grandmother would come back to life to wash my mouth out with soap. Sovieshu isn't worth a soapy mouth. In fact, he's worth nothing at all.

This novel is very good when reading it I feel carried away in this novel, this novel has also been made into a webtoon comic, I have read the comic version and it is no less exciting than the original novel. My favorite character is queen navier because she is firm, smart and elegant in dealing with problems. Soviesch and rastha are characters I don't like and annoying characters. overall this novel with a royal theme is exciting and different from other royal genres.

A weird narrative with one of the most sexist fandoms I’ve seen. Literally insane to be in the 21st century and see people cheering for a slave woman to undergo brutal torture or something when she really was manipulated all her life and genuinely just wanted to live. Also this book is so weird and classist, and puts women against each other in a way that is stupid (I.e NOT house of the dragon or GOT).

I came here after reading the first few chapters on Webtoon and became engrossed with the story! I searched for the web novel and it was like I was obsessed with it. I basically binge read 194 chapters in the last four days and I can't wait for more!

Ya había leído el webcomic en webtoon, pero tenía muchas ganas de adentrarme en el webnovel también, y no sólo me encantó, es mucho mejor que el manhwa.
Amo a Navier, necesito que sea feliz. En la novela gráfica no nos dan tanto contexto de sus verdaderos sentimientos, entonces parece muy fría todo el tiempo, pero acá vemos que es todo una fachada y que en realidad ella sufre mucho.
Amo a Heinley con todo mi corazón. Todas las interacciones con Navier me llenan el corazón y me encanta que sea de las pocas personas que logren hacerla feliz en esta situación de mierda.
A Sovieshu lo odio con todo mi corazón. Es el verdadero culpable de todo lo que está pasando. Maltrata a Navier todo el tiempo por cosas que ni siquiera hizo y la fuerza a ver como está enamorado de otra todo el tiempo. También tiene la culpa de que Rashta sea tan infeliz. Nunca le explica como funciona realmente ser una concubina en la familia imperial, lo que lleva a que todos se burlen de ella en su cara.
También se la pasa diciéndole a Navier que tenga compasión por Rashta, cuando en realidad debería pedirle disculpas por hacerle pasar tan malos momentos, tanto en privado como en sociedad.
"Miss Rashta told me to pass on a request.”
“Request?”
"Yes. She wants to learn aristocratic etiquette to help her in court life.
”I’m afraid that Rashta’s charm will disappear.” Rashta wouldn’t be exciting if she was like everyone else.
Sovieshu sólo quiere a Rashta porque le gusta sentirse más que alguien, no la respeta ni la ama y lo odio más por eso.
Rashta es un tema aparte. No la culpo en el sentido de que entiendo que siendo una esclava fugitiva y habiéndolo pasado tan mal en la casa del Viscount Roteshu haga lo que sea con tal de no perder su nueva posición. También entiendo que no sepa los modales y formas de la corte.
Lo que no banco para nada es que sea una persona manipuladora, me animo hasta a decir que es mala. Miente todo el tiempo para sacar beneficios, ensucia a Navier que no le hizo nada, sólo pide no cruzarla y que no le dirija la palabra.
¿Que harían ustedes si la amante de tu marido te habla y te dice hermana? Obviamente la odiarías aunque el verdadero culpable sea Sovieshu.
En definitiva, necesito que Sovieshu deje de ser una mierda (spoiler: no pasa) y que valore lo gran mujer que es Navier.

i'm quite sure the webtoon will finish this year or elapse a bit into next year, either way I'll be reading all of it + just binged the webnovel so I feel worthy in putting this as 'read'
the politics themself were interesting-- the way they were portrayed (which were infodumps through characters talking to each other) was less pleasant. some of my friends said they didn't like how navier was too perfect but I don't mind it, I honestly don't think she's perfect and hopefully heinley can help her become more of a person and less of an empress
something I really didn't like was the fandom loL! everyone was so ready to hate on rashta and it's like what? rashta was a slave! she got a way out through becoming a concubine, are you really here slut-shaming and cussing her out for it? that's kinda ridiculous, rashta clearly suffers from a lot of trauma and to one-dimensionally villanize her is unjust
in fact a lot of the characters in this series could've been great morally grey icons, but i suppose this is where a lack of character depth comes into play
even so, the villains, although so bluntly made into caricatures- were really fun to hate >.<
although I defend rashta i must say her crying is so goddamn annoying dear god she could end world thirst by how much she cries 🙄
also if I had to take a shot everytime sovieshu was a piece of shit i'd have liver failure
all in all, i really did like navier, i found myself rooting for her, and i will continue to read the webnovel! heinley is so wholesome (albeit very cringe) lmao
personal rating: 3.5

something I really didn't like was the fandom loL! everyone was so ready to hate on rashta and it's like what? rashta was a slave! she got a way out through becoming a concubine, are you really here slut-shaming and cussing her out for it? that's kinda ridiculous, rashta clearly suffers from a lot of trauma and to one-dimensionally villanize her is unjust
in fact a lot of the characters in this series could've been great morally grey icons, but i suppose this is where a lack of character depth comes into play
even so, the villains, although so bluntly made into caricatures- were really fun to hate >.<
although I defend rashta i must say her crying is so goddamn annoying dear god she could end world thirst by how much she cries 🙄
also if I had to take a shot everytime sovieshu was a piece of shit i'd have liver failure
all in all, i really did like navier, i found myself rooting for her, and i will continue to read the webnovel! heinley is so wholesome (albeit very cringe) lmao

The novel follows the trope of Villainess Redemption story but with a different perspective.
First of, if your interest in the novel was caught because of the divorce scene, you will be in for the long ride. The novel will not start off the divorce but the long events that lead up to the scene.
I love and hate how the author build up the characters. The novel is so frustrating at times. You will love Navier and Heinley and despise Sovieshit (Sovieshu) and Trashta (Rashta). Most of the chapters, you will really want to just grab those two and hurt them. (They are worst than garbage. Just go to any forums) 🤣
If you want a story that is fast-paced, this is not for you. The novel mostly takles politics and romance, so there will be a LOT of world building and political intricacies. The development of the relationship between the characters is a slow burn but they are refreshing at times.

AMAZING NOVEL!!! I CANT WAIT TO HAVE THIS NOVEL PUBLISHED ON ENGLISH because I love it very much, but unfortunately , I dont know Korean. If only this book were to be published on english I am sure people will go nuts for it. Enthralling plot, interesting and complex characters, well written villians; great descriptions of the situations, feelings, and enviroment. Everything with a good humor sense and dramatic turns that have the readers changing from being surprise, shocked, moved to tears or rage, to laught... an exciting, sweet and enjoyable roller coaster of emotions really. I have not enjoyed so much a novel in years. I recommended 1000%

DISCLAIMER: This review is mostly referring to the WEBTOON version, I have not finished the novel.
Who hasn’t heard of the ever-growing genre within Webtoons featuring semi-historical stories with a boss-babe female lead who, against all odds, finds true love with the male lead and gets revenge on those who oppose her?
It’s a power fantasy that hits just right because, as a society, we love revenge and justice for people who have been done absolutely dirty.
But what happens when a power fantasy dips its toes into one of the oldest forms of discrimination? Will the audience question their noble-born female lead, or will they blame the commoners who oppose her and fight back against the caste system?
Well, The Remarried Empress has the answer: just blame the poor people! How dare they not be born with a silver spoon in their mouth? God forbid these peasants want equal rights!
I would argue this story isn’t just bad because of its repetitive plot and cliché storyline, but it also actively reinforces classist and sexist ideology, especially surrounding one of the major antagonists, Rashta.
For god’s sake, Rashta was a slave—a woman without education, without anything to back her up. She had no one to lean on. The only cards she could play were her looks and her body, so of course, she would use the two things she had to get out of literal slavery. Tell me you wouldn’t do the same if you were in her position.
The female lead, Navier—don’t even get me started on her and her fans. She’s an empress, she’s rich. Even without marrying a man, she was the daughter of a literal duke. She grew up with an education, had friends to lean on. The worst thing that happened to her was that her husband got into a poor woman’s pants.
For the first few chapters I read, it felt like Navier had a bigger issue with the fact that Rashta was a runaway slave rather than the actual “homewrecking” she did.
The story goes out of its way to state that mistresses were common practice in the setting. Navier even knows the etiquette surrounding it. But the term homewrecker still gets flung around in the fandom to justify their strong distaste for Rashta.
Now, I want to preface this: it’s completely okay to dislike a character—sometimes, you just don’t vibe with them. However, there’s a difference between disliking a character just because you don’t like them and disliking a character while using excuses to disguise prejudice.
Not liking Rashta because she is annoying is fair. Not liking Rashta while literally perpetuating the same classist rhetoric spewed by the characters in the story is dumb and shows a lack of critical thinking.
Y’all 👏🏻 don’t 👏🏻 hate 👏🏻 her 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 being 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 homewrecker. 👏🏻
The characters within the story didn’t actually hate her for that either. They hated her because she was poor, because she was a runaway slave, because she didn’t fit into high society.
The way the author wrote this entire thing makes it feel like they themselves hate minorities because, instead of calling it what it is, they contribute to making excuses for the “good” noble-born characters.
A big concern of mine has been the growing trend within the storytelling community of demonizing the oppressed while the privileged get their asses kissed by both the author and the fanbase. This isn’t just a problem in this story—I’ve seen it in so many others that it’s honestly jarring.
Navier isn’t the perfect, morally good person the story tries to convince you she is. She is fully aware that the people in her empire are suffering from poverty and human trafficking, yet she does absolutely nothing to help them. She’s not an empowering feminist character, and the story certainly isn’t either.
Sigh, another story with great potential wasted because the author is too scared to step outside the cookie-cutter genre and write something that actually provokes thought in the reader. Not the first time I’ve been disappointed.

I'm not sure how many chapters are in each edition of the web novel so this is just covering up to where the translation currently ends (ch 299). The Remarried Empress is a never-ending drama-fest, in the best way. I read the currently-running webtoon version first, so I'm happy to find that some of the character's inner thoughts and the actions they exhibit are better shown and explained in the web novel version. It's helpful to see some things from Sovieshu and Rashta's perspectives and I think that Navier seems less perfect in this version (in a good way).
Speaking of Rashta, I didn't think she could get more annoying, but she refers to herself in the third person which just adds to her already irritating personality. Not to mention the fits of anger and episodes where she talks to herself just make her sound insane. I like that while Sovieshu is most definitely a villain and an awful person, Rashta also makes horrible choices and does a lot of harm to others on her own accord. The hate she gets isn't completely undeserved, no matter what situation she came from. But she is one of the most fascinating characters in the series simply because she has her own type of logic that makes sense in it's own way. That being said, it's all very satisfying to see the mess she and Sovieshu created to start backfiring.
I think my biggest complaint is that some of the transitions between perspectives and scenes is sometimes disjointed. It's also occasionally difficult to know who is speaking, but that may be in part due to the fact I'm reading a translation. For the most part this is a really fun story full of drama and political intrigue.

This is a very very famous korean novel, and already made into webtoon. Originally i read the webtoon on kakaopage. But the webtoon has only reached chapter 40-ish while the novel already has 180 chapters 😅. So i moved to naver and use google translations to read the rest of the novel chapters. I was never interested in cheating and love triangle trope. But this story changed me 🤣🤣. The genre is romance-fantasy with more weight on the romance. The plot is REALLY intriguing and the characterization would make you want to chew your nails!! It is a really unique story with great development.
.
I especially love the world building. Though it is mostly romance, the author did not forget about the political intricacies and the details of the fantasy world. But what I love the most is the villain characterization. How the author built the villain's character and show the consequences of each characters' actions were really good!
.
Also i love how the author built the relationship between the main characters. It was refreshing. And although intense at times, it was still enjoyable. The flow of the story is really good!

If anyone is interested this is how the books are divided (as far as I'm aware)
1. (1-77) Do You Have Compassion?
2. (78-157) A Secret Story
3. (158-233) Wedding Night
4. (234-307) Rashta's Despair
5. (308-391) I Will Not Sink Alone
These series of books is one of the best written things I’ve read in a while. They resurrected my reading habits and can’t stop thinking about them.

Goodness! The balance of political tug of war and emotions are incredibly difficult to depict in form of words and novel. And no doubt the writer did a great job of it.
The side characters also have just the right amount of time to focus on the grounds from where their motives evolve
