Darkstalker's character feels layered and morally gray, which is unusual for a children’s fantasy. I wonder what inspired the author to develop such depth in a young dragon.

The book has some lighthearted moments but also deals with serious issues like identity and power. Did this mix make the story more compelling or did it feel jarring at times?

The world-building feels rich and immersive. I’m curious whether the author mapped out the world extensively before writing or if it grew organically during the story.
