Il risveglio del demone

The demonic entities felt so vivid and terrifying—I'm curious whether their design was influenced by traditional myth or something original to Salvatore's world.

The story shifts between action and political intrigue, and I wondered if this was to build tension or if it affected the overall flow for others.

Some characters felt deeply developed while others remained peripheral—what's the process behind balancing character arcs in an epic like this?
