The Bristling Wood

The setting feels so rich and immersive—I'm curious whether the author envisioned the entire world from the start or developed it as the story progressed.

There were times I wondered if the protagonist's moral decisions were justified, or if they added to the story's complexity. How did others interpret their morality?

The plot weaves through battles and alliances smoothly, but I was curious about how much emphasis was placed on internal character growth versus external conflicts.
