A Madness of Angels

The urban backdrop feels so alive and gritty—I'm curious whether the city was based on a real place or a fictional creation, and what drew the author to this environment.

The plot seemed to take a breather before picking up again, which made me wonder if that was a deliberate choice to build atmosphere or just natural flow.

The mix of magical intrigue and a dark, suspenseful tone kept me guessing. I'm interested in how the author balanced these genres and what influences shaped that decision.
