Unperfect Souls

The fae here aren't just whimsical or evil but complex. I'm curious whether this was driven by traditional folklore or a desire to subvert typical fantasy tropes.

The slow unveiling of secrets made it hard to put down, but did others find the pacing in the mystery elements just right or a bit slow at times?

The tone shifts between eerie and suspenseful, and I'm wondering if the blend was planned from the start or evolved during the writing process.
