A Queen of Thieves & Chaos

The vivid world-building really pulled me in, but I wonder if the author based it on any real places or entirely imagined it from scratch.

Her rebellious streak is so compelling, but her decisions sometimes felt risky or self-destructive. How did others interpret her moral journey?

The romance added a tender layer amid the chaos, but the political intrigue kept me hooked. I wonder if one was planned to overshadow the other or if they evolved together.
