A Soul of Ash and Blood

The mix of intense action and emotional romance felt seamless, but I'm curious whether that was a deliberate choice or evolved during writing.

Their decisions often felt gray rather than black and white, which made me wonder how much of their morality was driven by the story versus character development.

The lore felt so layered and immersive. I wonder if it was based on existing mythologies or if it was entirely crafted from the author's imagination.
