Fate of Flames

The mix of dystopia and fantasy felt seamless, but I wonder how much of it was planned versus developed during writing. Did the author have a detailed map of this universe from the start?

It was fascinating to see how each character's magic reflected their personality. I'm curious whether these powers were inspired by any particular myths or themes.

This combination made the story feel fresh and urgent, but I wonder if the author was influenced by specific books or real-world issues when crafting this hybrid world.
