The Hero and the Crown

The magic feels so integral to the setting and characters. I'm curious whether the author developed the lore first or if it grew organically through writing.

Her bravery is inspiring but also felt risky. I wonder if readers see her actions as heroism or recklessness, and how that shaped your view of her character.

The pacing balances personal growth with action, but I’d love to know if this was planned from the start or evolved during the writing process.
