Bite the Power That Feeds

The tension between the characters felt so charged and realistic. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or developed during writing.

Every detail about the supernatural powers and politics made the story come alive. I wonder how much was mapped out beforehand versus discovered as the story unfolded.

The pacing kept me on edge, but the romantic scenes added a layer of vulnerability. Was that contrast a deliberate choice to heighten the stakes?
