Sorcery of Thorns

I loved how the magic felt both mysterious and well-structured, but I kept wondering if there was more to how it works behind the scenes. Did the author intentionally leave some parts vague?

Her balance of bravery and self-doubt made her feel real, but I’m curious if that was a conscious choice to reflect her growth. What inspired this character development?

The idea of a library harboring dangerous secrets is so enchanting. I wonder if the author based it on a particular love of books or a specific myth?
