So between the prequel and main story there's some bits that don't make sense
Like how in the 2nd book when mother goose is talking to xanthous near the beginning she makes it sound like she's been alive before xanthous was born? BUT THEY WERE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WHY IS SHE ACTING LIKE A BOOMER? But then it might just be a mother goose thing. butbutbut then there's the whole first apprentice thing in the third book and I might have misread it but apparently the whole council was shocked? But it doesn't make sense they were so close to each other back then as kids i can't imagine why they wouldn't tell each other such an unimportant secret.
Also emerelda was (seemingly) elected....again??? after ezmia? but that doesn't make sense cause emerelda was there when brystal first made the fairy council!!!
Also why the fuck is xanthous still above ground I thought he went to live with his elf boyfriend underground.
ALSO WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE WESTERN KINGDOM???
AND ALSO WHERE WAS THAT SCIENCE SORCERY ACADEMY IN THE SKY WHEN EZMIA ATTACKED???
YK IIRC THEY MADE A PROMISE TO NOT IGNORE IMPORTANT WORDLY MATTERS AND I'M PRETTY SURE MAD PURPLE WOMAN TAKING OVER THE WORLD IS A VERY IMPORTANT WORLDLY MATTER
ALSO HOW COULD EZMIA OVERLOOK A FLOATING ACADEMY YK FOR SOMEONE TAKING OVER THE WHOLE WORLD SHE SURE DID A SHITTY JOB AT NOTICING THE ACADEMY THING
Not that she did a good job in the first place anyways but still.
ALSO SNOW QUEEN WAS DEAD???
AND APPARENTLY NOT CAUSE SHE'S ALIVE ENOUGH TO INVADE THE NORTHERN KINGDOM FOR THE SECOND FUCKING TIME AND DIE FOR A SECOND TIME AS WELL.
Also when the fairy council was fighting the snow queen in the sixth book (i'm only on the third book rereading so far butbut) they gave NO ABSOLUTE NOD OR COMPLICATED FEELINGS TOWARDS HER DEFEAT
They may have accepted that she was dead and this was no longer their former mentor but STILLLLLLL
Oh and there's also another thing-is the fairy castle and the weatherberry academy the same place?
Because the academy was by the seaside but I don't think the fairy castle was.\
But you know it's really impractical and kinda iffy to move their headquarters.
They might have just moved buildings but WHYYY??? The academy was fine there was absolutely no need to move it.
And if conner's a fairy (as in same as his sister) why did he grow old in the last book??? (iirc i think he grew old in the last book)
Cause I'm pretty sure that he's not suppose to "return to magic" unless he uses all his magic up and iirc i'm sure as helll he used almost zero magic in the otherworld.
Thanks for reading through this rant i just don't like sloppy worldbuilding for some reason
Edit: does this belong in questions and concerns or plot and spoilers discussion?
