Shielded

The magic system and political landscape felt so detailed and lived-in. I wonder if the author mapped out this universe beforehand or let it grow organically during writing.

It added a lot of depth to her character arc, but I’m curious whether this was a deliberate metaphor or a storytelling convenience from the author.

It felt like a nice complement to the adventure, but I wondered if balancing both was challenging for the author or if it was planned from the start.
