palais du volcan, Le

The lush descriptions and imaginative setting made me wonder how much of the environment was planned versus developed during writing. Did the author have a detailed map or lore from the start?

The story balanced action and quieter moments well, but I’m curious if that was a conscious choice to keep young readers hooked or just how the story naturally evolved.

The blend of magical creatures and real-world exploration felt seamless. I wonder what influenced the decision to keep the tone light and fun while still exciting.
