sometimes i feel silly spending so much time researching anachronisms so minor, no one will care if they're slightly wrong. but then i read a book that casually slips in a major anachronism in a bad way, and it breaks my respect for that book so bad that i DNF it, and remember that yeah there is someone who cares about minor anachronisms: me bitch

#when the moon hatched if you were wondering :)#i had high hopes but somehow missed it was being called the f.ourth wing of 2024 #that would've saved me the wait at the library #it used the word hyperfixation and i physically slammed my ereader shut #there were many other problems but that one got to me. i'm still rankled a few days later. ugh #like i think dragon age sells the anachronistic language really well. it knows its strengths and the worldbuilding is sound if inconsistent #this one did not have the vision or strength of writing to sell it. never trust a booktok book.#bolt reads things
