Les maudits 02 : Illusion

The blend of mythology and fantasy felt rich and immersive. I'm curious whether this was drawn from specific traditions or came from the author's imagination.

The demons seemed to carry emotional weight that sometimes overshadowed the human characters. Was this intentional to highlight the supernatural themes?

The book maintains a tense, ominous mood but also has brief moments of humor or hope. I wonder how those tonal shifts were planned or evolved during writing.
