I winced when Gen lost his hand, but I've read too much Dorothy Dunnett to give up when a character suffers horribly any more. At least Megan doesn't torture infants and children -- that's the one thing I still can't bear in Dunnett, even if it's realistic that the bad guys really would be that bad sometimes.
On the other hand, getting your friend to read the Lymond Chronicles so she can meet a really ruthless author and realize that MWT could have done much worse is probably not the solution to this problem. :)
