Vent de discorde

The way the magic was woven into the story felt very alive, but I wonder if the author intended it to have such a presence. How did the magic's complexity influence the story's pacing?

The idea of a family legacy turning into a burden was compelling, and I’m curious whether this was inspired by folklore or original to the author’s imagination.

The romance felt very intense and almost forbidden, which added a layer of emotional stakes. Did the author plan for this to be such a central part of the story from the start?
