I couldn't sleep last night so I reread the entire book. I found the section you mean. If you know her politics then yea you can see it as a rant. But how many stories out there have the bad guys wanting a war or oppress the people of the country. Of course most of the ones I can think off hand have a good king that is taken over or killed by the supposedly loyal minion and makes the country suffer. Or the new wife quickly becomes a widow and things spiral down from there.
I guess things like that don't really bother me that much.
Reread it
