L'Apprenti du Cartographe (Glass and Steele série t. 2)

The way magic is woven into the world feels so unique and detailed. I'm curious if the author based it on any specific folklore or created it from scratch.

There were moments that made me laugh out loud, even when the stakes were high. How did the author manage to keep that tone so engaging?

The shifting settings kept the story fresh, but I wonder if that was planned from the beginning or developed during writing.
