Well, I am not really the one for a preventive murder for a sake of mankind. Usually it returns to bite you in the ass. People tend not to forgive for a death of loved ones you know. An execution of Ygerna started the war, and not gave Divine time to prepare. And she did not kill anybody, just showed Damien who he really was. Why would that be a crime? Demon or not, he was a free man, with freedom of choice. And I don't think that just bec. somebody may become evil, he should have less rights then a good guy. We do not get pick and choose this. Damien had his own mind, and it was possible he wouldn't go all out on a killing rampage without a really good reason. He didn't hate either Divine or humans at this point. So by my lights the execution of Ygerna was a bad deed. And yeah, I was glad that Ygerna succeded.
In "Child of Chaos", the prequel novella, there was a really good scene between Damian and Lucian where Damian expressed pretty much that thought, that whatever Ygerna was, the Divine took away Damian's ability to decide on his own.
