His death also seems to have had no great consequence. Tavore would have become Adjunct even if he had lived, she would still have aided the cull of the nobility, including Felisin most likely, if he had lived.
You can't really make those arguments for Felisin's death, can you? Ok, she was no longer the instrument of Drhyna, since Dhryjna had just died. She was still the leader of the rebellion, at least.
Was Felsin leader of the rebellion though? Or was that S'heilk? There a a few times that they are referred to as seperate enities, almost split personality. Very simiar to Cotillion/Sorry...
Wasn't she just a young girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Wasn't she just someone that leaman pushed into the role of the goddess re-born? In a rush because the old S'heilk had just had a crossbow bolt though her forehead.
Isn't she referred as 'Just a figue head' of the rebellion many times. Don't forget that after the Chains of Dogs had occured the rebellion was petty much a farce, with so many different characters partaking in it for there own indivual agenda's.
The rebellion was pretty much already over when Tavore confronts Felsin, what with the dog slayers gone and the death of Dhyjna. I think that it's almost poetic that Tavore didn't kill the leader of the rebellion as she thought she was doing, but infact she was killing her sister, whom she'd sent topper and that other one (sorry cant remember her name, the red blade woman) to find and rescue her from the mines. Thus her death was completly pointless and utterly meaningless.
If Hood understands irony, then it's almost perfect!
On a bit of a side note, I was also wondering if Hood would have had any clue that Paran would turn out to be the master of the deck? and would that have been the reason he agreed to the exchange of souls?
