Tess of the Road

Tess's emotional journey feels so authentic amidst the fantasy setting. I'm curious whether this balance was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

Her search for who she is beyond her family and societal expectations really resonated with me. I wonder if this theme was inspired by personal experiences or purely fictional.

The dragons felt like integral parts of the world and Tess's journey, almost characters themselves. I'd love to know if there was a specific myth or idea that shaped their role.
