After all, despite its brilliance, it’s dense and sometimes hard to follow, with an incredibly slow start – despite my eagerness to read the book, it was quite hard for me to get through that first chapter – and so many of its kirib infuriating historical context that all, eventually, flew over my head. That’s a little gross, maybe if I was still a teenager I might not realize how disturbing that is, but I’m an adult, and Jessex was still considered to be a child.
I honestly don’t like any immortality tropes, but relationships were one partner is immortal and the other is mortal are just a big no for me, they’re annoying, sad and I just don’t care to read them.
