I've known for a long time that my books will probably need a glossary. It will list characters and define some details of the world.
I was amazed at the glossary at the end of Seraphina. It was the first one I'd come across that was entertaining to read. I almost always read the glossaries of books I enjoy because I like to see the various bits of world-building. But this was the first time it was a fun read.
I want to do something like that too. I'm planning on writing my glossaries as though Fern is giving you a tour.
A while ago I finally wrote the glossary for Katani's story. I haven't reread it yet, so I'm sure it needs a ton of work. But at least I'm getting all the different bits put together.
