The Cassandra complex

Her struggles with self-acceptance felt so real, even amidst the fantastical elements. I wonder how much of her story resonates with readers' personal experiences.

The magical aspects added a unique layer to Cassandra's self-discovery. Did they make her struggles feel more universal or more distant from reality?

The mix of everyday struggles and magical realism was seamless. I'm curious whether this was a deliberate choice to reflect inner worlds or if it evolved during writing.
