I think part of the problem for me is that the Ravkan politics side of things has always really bored me, and I never found it convincing that Nina remained so devoted to the cause during all the time she spent exiled in Ketterdam — the whole point was that she built a life and support network for herself outside Ravka. And killing Matthias and then depriving her of that support network seemed to undermine all that completely.
