Hidden Trump

The character’s struggle felt very personal and layered. I wonder what inspired the author to explore this particular aspect of identity and transformation.

The romantic subplot seemed to humanize the high-stakes magic, but sometimes it felt like it overshadowed the main plot. What did others think about how it was balanced?

The world-building felt rich and immersive. I'm curious whether it grew from existing mythologies or was created from scratch, and how the author approached designing such a vivid universe.
