In den Fängen der Finsternis

The story dives into heavy subjects like tyranny and sacrifice, but also offers glimmers of resilience. I'm curious how the author chose to weave these tones together.

The details about the magic system and political landscape felt so vivid — was that planned from the beginning or did it develop as the story unfolded?

Having several viewpoints added depth but also complexity. I wonder if this was a way to show the larger scope of the world or to develop specific character arcs.
