The Mirk and Midnight Hour

The blending of fairy tale elements with historical fiction adds a unique layer to the story. I'm curious whether this choice was driven by personal interest or a desire to explore certain themes.

The mood swings between eerie and tender seemed just right, but I wonder if others felt the same or if it was a bit jarring at times.

The world-building felt rich and immersive, but I'm curious whether the magic was mapped out from the beginning or developed as the story progressed.
