Serafina and the Splintered Heart

The blend of real history with fantasy elements was intriguing. I'm curious whether the setting was based on a specific place or era the author wanted to highlight.

The story kept me guessing, but I wondered if the clues were subtly laid out or if I missed some hints along the way. How did others interpret the pacing of the mystery?

Her unique ability to navigate different realms added depth, but I wonder what inspired this aspect of her character and how it relates to the story's themes.
