I like the cadence of “classic” fantasy which is why I’m a little strict on words (basically if it makes me go “huh is the a modern word?” I look it up). But I’m not like “verily shalt thou cast thyself upon thine sword” 😂

trees." "Mission from a goddess". "Cameo from a-" Oh that might be too spoilery. "Ancient evil trying to break free of its prison".

Reborn in Ash is more "Moody thief who finds magic gems". "Neighbouring empire becomes a threat". Ehhh I'll get there with it. Probably when the book is ancient 🤣

It’s not on purpose. But yesterday I scrolled past a live on TikTok where someone’s name, house number, and postcode were clearly visible. I’ve seen other videos with shipping labels visible. Rage inducing.
