C'était le jour des morts

The way the magical elements intertwined with themes of community and identity felt both fresh and emotionally resonant. I'm curious if others found the fantasy aspects enhanced or distracted from the story's emotional core.

The setting added a layer of richness to the characters' struggles with belonging and heritage. I wonder if personal experience or cultural research played a role in shaping this backdrop.

The build-up felt deliberate, but I was wondering if the author intended for that quiet tension to mirror the story's themes of secrets slowly surfacing.
