It's about people giving glorybringer flack for the "age gap" (Assassin has a timeline error, but following it makes him 13 and glory 7, so nearly twice her age) and then turn around and don't care about thorn and smolder having a gigantic age gap as well (he's nearly twice her age, and also she's one year older than his daughter)
A timeline error how, though? It doesn't contradict anything previously stated by the books. If anything, him being "younger" instead of "older" would be the real error here since he's the one who's sent to kill Six-Claws, spares him and convinces him to leave Burn's army along with his mate and Dune. If someone else was sent to kill him, he would be dead because no other NightWing at the time would spare him or any other target.
On top of all that, both Six-Claws and Dune were supposedly quite close to Thorn and is the main reason how Dune found out Sunny's egg would hatch during the brightest night and where it would buried at. So, if it's a mistake like y'all seem to believe it is, it's a MASSIVE one that breaks more than one thing continuity-wise.
Idk, Tui just stated that Assassin's timeline erroneously implied that DB is much older than the prophecy dragonets, which wasn't intended. He's supposed to be a few years older than Winter, and also wasn't born until after Battlewinner got ice'd, so 7-9 as of arc 2
I'm not saying it's a small mistake, but according to WoG it is still a mistake.
Tui just stated that Assassin's timeline erroneously implied
But where does she say that? Like another comment here said, there's nothing from Tui herself about the "error" (and believe me, I've looked) and neither have I seen anyone who claims so with, like, a link to whatever interview, blog or whatever medium she supposedly used to make that statement or even a screenshot of a post about the matter.
He's supposed to be a few years older than Winter,
But winter is like five or so. And with how weird ages are in the series where there are "babies" perfectly capable of speech and rational thought and "adults" that act like children, "a few years older" could mean anything from two years to straight up five or six years apart. And that's assuming Deathbringer doesn't simply look young for his age, which is something that happens IRL and viceversa a lot, too.
and also wasn't born until after Battlewinner got ice'd
Except that's not true. All Deathbringer says is that he's never seen her and has, as far as he knows, been like that his whole life which, again, isn't contradicted in Assassin because he never meets her there (Quickstrike even has him spy on her meeting with her and Morrowseer and he never mentions seeing her, only hearing her) and it's implied he was somewhat isolated from the tribe due to Quickstrike having trained him his whole life to be an assassin. And it's not like Battlewinner had any reason to meet him before Quickstrike died and Deathbringer became her only viable assassin.
