The prose feels almost like poetry, creating a hypnotic atmosphere. I'm curious what inspired such a unique writing style and how it shaped the world-building.

The descriptions are so vivid and intricate that I found myself lost sometimes. Was that intentional to immerse readers or a challenge to navigate?

The obsession with ceremony and hierarchy really stood out. I wonder if this was meant to critique societal structures or simply to deepen the gothic atmosphere.
