Nevernight. Mai dimenticare (Libro primo degli accadimenti di Illuminotte)

The story's gritty atmosphere and intense themes are so compelling — I wonder what influenced the author's choice to go this route.

I loved how unique and detailed the magic felt, but it also made me curious whether it was inspired by any real-world mythologies or entirely original.

Sometimes the story felt so intense that I wondered if the emotional moments were planned, or if they evolved naturally from the characters' struggles.
