Séquence des héros, tome 2 : Les portes de Thorbardin

The detailed descriptions made the setting feel alive—I'm curious whether he visualized it all first or built it as he wrote.

The story took a bit to pick up again, but I loved the character moments. Was that intentional to build tension or just the way the plot evolved?

The mythical elements added so much flavor—I'm wondering if they came from the author's own ideas or established D&D lore.
