Couronne D'étoiles et de Destin (Sang et de Sel t. 3)

Watching the characters clash and then slowly open up felt intense, but also emotionally draining. Was that tension part of the plan or just how it unfolded?

The world-building felt so detailed and immersive — I wonder if the author drew from existing myths or created this from scratch.

I was hooked at the start but felt the story lagged at times. Did the author want to give space for character development or was it a pacing challenge?
