Kissed

The way familiar stories are given a fresh twist is so engaging. I'm curious whether the author grew up loving these tales or wanted to put a new spin on them.

The way magic is woven into the story felt fresh and playful. I'm wondering if the author developed this system specifically for this retelling or if it evolved during writing.

The book manages to be adventurous without feeling too heavy, which I loved. Did the author aim for that balance from the start?
