Honestly, really really disappointed that Skearhead is alive. It's absolutely going to turn out that Ellelain never really betrayed the Empress and that Skearhead manipulated things to continue the war. I really liked his previous character; extremely loyal but completely misguided. It feels really cheap to cop out of the "maybe Ellelain was a flawed person who messed up" plotline.
Personally I'm glad, because I shipped Ellelain and Kaiserin....but I get that you feel betrayed. It was an actual shock that "Skearhead actually is a good person???", so it could have been a real plot twist, but instead it was a fakeout death and the most obvious thing that they did nothing to hide was the truth all along
