Shadows Before the Sun

The way the author layered the magic elements kept me guessing, but I also wanted more clarity on how it all works. Was that intentional or did I miss some details?

The world felt so immersive, like I was walking through shadowed streets and hidden corners. I wonder if the author drew from any real-world influences or crafted it purely from imagination.

It felt both natural and tense, like the characters' feelings were growing in secret shadows. Did the author plan the romance from the start or did it evolve during writing?
