One of the things about these sorts of series is that they're political, byzantine, and involve a lot of social conflict. There's almost always a character who is some self-centered, petty, shallow person to contrast the central character.

In this particular series, the author did a spectacular job in making that character one of the most petty, self-centered, shallow, and absolutely vile creatures in existence. She just gets worse and worse as the series progresses.

...she's also not particularly competent, which makes it even more annoying when she screws up (happens constantly) and blames it on everyone but herself.
