La Damnation de l'Aube

The pacing felt steady but intense, and I wondered whether the romantic moments were planned to be as pivotal as the battles. Did the author intend for the romance to sometimes take a backseat to the plot?

The world-building around the magic felt complex yet accessible. I'm curious if the author developed a detailed lore behind the spells or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The atmosphere and locations added so much depth to the story. I wonder if real places or legends influenced the world-building or if it was imagined entirely from scratch.
