Star Bringer

The universe feels so vivid and immersive—I'm curious whether the author built the world from scratch or drew inspiration from existing mythologies or science.

I'm used to slower burn romances, but this one felt intense from the start. Did others feel the same or was it just my reading pace?

The magic and world-building are so rich, but I wondered if the romance was always intended to be the main focus or if it evolved during writing.
