Heart of Tin

The blending of familiar stories with original magic systems is intriguing. I'm curious whether the author started with the fairy tale or the world-building first.

The story seemed to focus heavily on personal growth and understanding, which made the fantasy elements feel even more meaningful. How did others interpret the balance between magic and self-discovery?

The shifting moods kept me engaged but also made me wonder if the tone was carefully planned or evolved as the story progressed.
