Dark Queen

The details about the different factions and magic felt really layered. I wonder how much of it was planned from the start versus developed during writing.

Her struggles with her powers and her past made me think about how much of ourselves is shaped by choices versus circumstances. Did anyone else find her relatable?

The city felt like a character itself, with all its grit and magic blending seamlessly. I'm curious whether the setting was based on a real place or entirely fictional.
