Le manoir de la fiancée disparue: Le miroir (2)

The mix of genres kept the story fresh and unpredictable. I'm curious whether this was a deliberate choice from the start or evolved during writing.

The emotional depth added so much to the story, but I kept wondering if the mystery itself was secondary to the characters' journeys.

The mirror felt so central to the themes—was this inspired by personal experiences or a specific myth or story?
