Magic & Midnight

The way magic behaves seems to shift at times, which kept me guessing but also made me wonder if it was intentional. How do others interpret the magic system here?

The cozy setting really added charm, but I'm curious whether the small-town vibe was based on a personal experience or purely fictional. Did the town's atmosphere influence the story's tone?

The witty banter and lighthearted moments made the story so enjoyable, but I wonder if that humor was a conscious choice to balance the mystery's suspense. Did others feel the same?
