Le joyau du halfelin

Salvatore's detailed world-building and character development really shine here. I'm curious whether the story was planned as a standalone or part of a larger arc from the start.

The action sequences are thrilling, but the slower moments add depth. I wonder if this balance was intentional to develop the characters more fully.

His internal conflict adds complexity to his character. I'm interested in whether Salvatore drew from personal experiences or crafted this purely for storytelling.
