Okay this is getting put on hold… again.

This has still got to be some of the laziest world building which is what I struggled to get past last time… how are you gonna copy/paste France and 16th century Catholicism into the middle of a high fantasy set in a completely made up world? At least make it an AU-historical fantasy if you’re going to be that blatantly unoriginal.

take 2... let's see if i can get past the french thing this time

This is getting put back on the shelf until further notice, I just can’t do it anymore

I’m sf confused who’s the vampire here 😭

Not sure if this is just the world’s laziest way to world build and will end up changing or what, but I didn’t realize the book was told entirely in dialogue by a character recalling the past to a historian
