Paladin's Strength

The tone feels light and playful despite the stakes, which is a tricky balance. I wonder what inspired this mix and how it evolved during writing.

His struggles with opening up and relying on others made me think about my own relationships. I'm curious if readers felt similarly or saw it differently.

The world feels vivid and lived-in, yet I wonder if it was mapped out in detail beforehand or developed organically as the story progressed.
