Barbara asked Peter V. Brett:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Peter V. Brett Absolutely not. Neither the gender nor sexual orientation of a character is in any way related to their good/evil alignment (if you believe in such things) or their fate. There are still several queer characters still alive, and some (like Soli and Selia Barren) who are clear heroes. There are also several characters whose sexuality is yet to be revealed, simply because it has not yet been relevant to the plot. I am sorry you got a negative impression from how things turn out, but I want to state clearly and for the record that it was in no way a statement on my part.

As the story progresses you may also find, as has been the case in previous books, that some 'evil' characters aren't as bad as you might have first thought once you get to know them a little better.
