The Thief of Always

The mix of dark elements with a children's adventure feels unique. I'm curious what motivated him to explore this dangerous yet captivating combination.

The world seems perfect at first, but the darker truths slowly emerge. Did the unsettling feeling make others think about the cost of eternal happiness?

The story walks a fine line, making the dark aspects impactful without overwhelming young readers. Was this balance intentional or did it evolve during writing?
