Cursebound: Imprisoned by Fate (Battle of the Drumfire 2)

The intricate politics and cultural details really drew me in, but I wonder how much was planned from the start versus developed organically during writing.

The emotional stakes kept me hooked, but at times I wondered if the characters’ struggles felt too overwhelming. How did others connect with their journeys?

It’s rare to see such nuanced and heartfelt representation in fantasy, so I’m curious whether personal experiences or research shaped this aspect.
