I’m sorry but I feel like it’s revisionist or at least not at all my experience to describe Suian’s arc after the coup in the books as some kind of powerful narrative of overcoming adversity.
I hated Suian’s post-coup book storyline because it read to me like a never ending humiliation conga designed to show why a powerful woman needed to be humbled and controlled by a man.
I am absolutely fine with not sitting through that and giving her story more weight and stakes. Especially given how bs her death did end up being in the books anyway.
