I remembered the last five or six lives in Technicolor detail—the sights and smells and emotions, the casts of loved ones I’d left behind, every line of Arden’s new faces. But the lives before that became less and less distinct the further back they went, until everything was smudged with fog.
if youre living 18 years each time, you havent actually lived THAT many lives unless yall started in the 1300s. it's like 4-5 lives per century
if they started in like the 1700s or 1800s like i thought then theyve only lived like 12 lives
edit: prologue says "several hundred - so at least 400 years -> so at least 20 lives. which still isnt as much as the book implies
