CB12’s Reviews > The Jasad Heir > Status Update

Yeah the romance is very good but unfortunately most of the book is about the magic system/FMC’s lineage, which is a blend of many things we’ve seen 100 times and are a bit convoluted/non sensical in certain parts
The writer is very talented however!!
50/50 in this moment if I will continue on to the next one idk

Also how is having the ability to absorb magic (even if given to him via a curse) not a magical ability within itself

I feel like the ab narrator …completely is just going a brand new accent for Von they she hasn’t done this whole book

And the trials make no sense, why were jadads competing with people with no magic in the first place. Like ofc everyone else hated them lmao

Now she’s a chemist LMAOO

A lot of debuts do this thing where they over describe just how SHOCKED the MC is whenever she encounters new forms of magic

and it doesn’t always make sense why someone who grew up with magic and its potential would feel this way

Like duh he was cursed

Reading books like this makes me appreciate Kate Daniels because in that universe, there’s way less exposition about how shocked everyone is that a random newly introduced form of magic can kill people they’re just like ofc there’s some catch — that’s the nature of magic

And the magical cuffs that stop magic….

Not saying she couldn’t have come up with this idea independently, but ***redacted*** WAS the biggest dark fantasy romance release of the 2020s so far so it a little like …interesting choice idk

anyways, what even is the magic system? Telekinesis? Elemental magic? Dream magic? Enchantments? It all seems very loosey-goosey to me.

I would put this in the cannon of the many books I’ve read in my life were utilizing magic is described like someone vaguely trying to push out a fart…but instead it’s her opining about the pressure in her cuffs over and over again

She’s so intense with the threats but she’s killed like 1-2 people this entire time

Idk I’m just over the stabby FMC in these books and trials, always with the trials

Girl these trials, what is going on and why
