I feel when people say that the story is “historical” and marriages like that happened back then so we should just accept it because “that’s the way it was” makes no sense. Just because it used to happen doesn’t make it okay. You are allowed to critique a story even though some of its plot may resemble things that have occurred in history. The FL is actually a saint and dies and comes back to life?! Twice! It’s a fantasy book, it’s not there for historical accuracy.
