I have to look up my cliffs notes about Death’s Daughter I posted here (btw. posting here weekly what I’ve read is great when I have to remember what I thought about a series - I highly recommend doing this wink wink) but I think I remember that I felt that the main character was very flip-floppy with her personality. If the author wanted to push in a certain direction the MC was dumb like a piece of bread and the next moment she was super attentive. Very inconsistent. Apothecary Diaries is great though, so I recommend starting with that.
Oh, I just meant the latest volumes, both had releases in January I haven’t gotten to yet.
Death’s Daughter is a bit uneven as a series but generally I really enjoy it. It’s a war story with lots of military strategy and politics scattered across the continent, but Olivia helps keep it a bit lighter and easier to read than the usual war chronicle. I wouldn’t really call her inconsistent, at least for the most part; she’s kind of ditzy and sheltered and bad at human interaction, but she’s hyper-competent when it comes to killing people. Good ol’ gap moe.
And yeah, Apothecary Diaries is by far my favourite LN series, super good all the way through.
