IL cuore della strega

The magic system feels rich and immersive—I'm curious whether it was built from scratch or inspired by existing folklore. How did the author decide on its boundaries and limitations?

The chemistry between the characters was palpable, but I wondered if the relationship's progression was planned from the start or evolved organically through the story.

The mix of humor and darkness kept the story engaging without feeling too heavy. Was this contrast something intentionally woven into the narrative tone?
