City of Thorns. La città delle spine

The demons in 'City of Thorns' feel more nuanced than typical villains. I wonder if the author drew from specific mythologies or crafted these personalities from scratch.

Usually, this trope can feel rushed or clichéd, but the slow burn and emotional stakes made it feel genuine. Did others feel the same connection to their relationship?

The story manages to keep the romance hot without sacrificing the rich fantasy setting. I’m curious if that was a conscious choice or evolved during writing.
