Der Weg nach Kinvale

The way magic influences politics and society felt so detailed and purposeful. I'm curious whether this was based on existing lore or an entirely original creation.

While I loved the world-building, some parts felt a bit slow compared to the action scenes. Was that intentional to build tension or just the story's natural flow?

Certain characters felt so vivid and layered, while others remained more in the background. I wonder what influenced those storytelling choices.
