Even Though I Knew the End

The setting feels so richly drawn and authentic, yet infused with magic. I'm curious how the author decided to combine these genres and what influenced that choice.

The title hints at a sense of inevitable loss, but the story still felt surprising. How did the author balance foreshadowing with suspense?

The representation felt natural and impactful, but I wonder if the author had specific intentions on how sexuality informs character development.
