idk maybe it's having lived the actual irony of a family member who ran a funeral home and was constantly being pulled away from dinners because "people die at the most inconvenient times!" dying tragically young a week before Christmas, you can't make that shit up but it was still anything but tidy
The more romantasy I read the more I realize I don't really care about the design of a magic system but I care a LOT about the role of that magic system in the fictional society
Look I just think it takes an astonishing deftness of hand to write a world where society rejects magical powers when they are obviously really fucking cool and everyone would want to have them/be in the good graces of people who have them, it's been done well obvi but it should not be the default!!
Man there is no way for a story to lose me faster than "Everything is going great! Story is about to resolve! Time for a secondary character to SUDDENLY DIE!!! Guess we've got a whole new set of emotional baggage to unpack!!"
Anyway if this bothers you too probably skip [SPOILER!!!!!!] Main Characters by Bobby Palmer. Also continues to sit poorly with me in re: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, slightly more complex twist on the device but probably the first time I noticed how much it got to me (derogatory).
