Her partner Töregene has gone quiet, and Boraqchin, the Great Kha'tun, turns Sitara's own warnings against Tolui, engineering his death under the guise of an exorcism.

The review\u0026#39;s focus is Boraqchin, the senior wife who has spent years consuming a toxic substance in the belief it will make her immortal, and who reads Sitara\u0026#39;s warnings about Tolui as an opening to remove him. The exorcism sequence that kills Tolui is described as beautiful, with his spirit willingly taking on the burden of death from his brother. Sitara is left in service to Boraqchin, separated from her one ally, with the man who took everything from her dead and no sense of fulfillment.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The ANN review of Jaadugar episodes 8-10 finds Sitara's empire-toppling plan in tatters.
