Jessamine is getting on my nerves - to be honest if I were living in her kingdom I wouldn't have cared if she'd lived or died because she is so...clueless. Elric's chapters are much more enjoyable.

I'm settling in the story a little more and I enjoy the dynamic between Jessamine and the Deathless One; it's quite funny how they take turns to rage-bait each other.

World building and the details of how magic works are still fuzzy which breaks the immersion for me...

I think the writing is not working for me. The world building also feels paper-thin. I'll give it a few more chapters before deciding whether to DNF.

The trouble about finishing a really good fantasy series is that anything that comes after it feels subpar. Maybe I should have waited a little while before starting The Deathless One 🫣

Getting an early start on my 2026 reading list 🌞
