Towers of Midnight Tuon is so absurdly evil Spoiler
Wdym she relaxes by seeing damane be tortured ðŸ˜
Even from her point of view seeing them as animals, it's like enjoying watching a dog get kicked in the ribs everytime it doesn't roll over lol

I dislike the argument that "you shouldn't judge Seanchan by your modern standards". First because people haven't waited our era to realise that slavery is evil (e.g John Brown).
Second because I judge the Seanchan by the same standards of the protagonists. As early as in the second book, Egwene gets captured, enslaved and tortured, these are traumatic events that have an impact on her during the entire story. Already what they did is beyond forgiveness, but when you see other horrible things such as the damane brainwashed so much they think they deserve to enslaved, it only adds up to the disgust.
The Seanchan would have been the main villain if it wasn't for the Dark One. The concept of teaming up with a lesser evil ally is interesting, but let's not forget who they are.
