![]() Plotwise, the entire 1791 storyline relies on mind-blowing negligence. The only thing that seemed to get any real attention to detail was the poisons, and my god did the author want you to know she'd done her research on old-timey poisons - there's an entire list of ingredients and goddamn instructions in the back of the book, for cripes' sake. This problem permeates everything from small details (fine ladies walking down the street carrying shopping bags) to significant plot points (an establishment openly advertising itself as a "magick shoppe" - and being written up glowingly in a newspaper as such - in a time and place where simply claiming magic was real was a criminal offense). ![]() ![]() To start, the historicity in the 1791 timeline is shoddy at best. Dual timelines, historical research, mysterious artifacts from the past, women subverting an unfair system- all of that is 100% exactly my catnip. ![]() This is probably my biggest letdown of the year so far. ![]()
