Estinien, Minfilia, etc were all a huge focus at one point, so for this expansion, which takes place on her island where she is supposed to take over as ruler, it is perfectly reasonable to revolve around her.
And that's the issue, the expansion is centered around her. It should have been more about the looming inner turmoil of a nation with an aging ruler whose ability to govern is diminishing, and whom has no worthy successor to take their place. The WoL should be taking more of a front seat in the story to witnessing this gradual decline as the current ruler is slipping in his ability to keep charge of his kingdom. Instead the WoL is left in the shadow while an aggressively mediocre character takes center stage.

As for Estinien, Minfilia, well they're simply better written characters. And more importantly, as critical as they were to their respective expansions, they weren't constantly stealing focus away from the WoL at every turn.
