The Dragon Wakes with Thunder

The incorporation of mythology gave the world a richer history, but I wonder if it overpowered the original plot at times. What did others think about how myth influenced the story’s tone?

The dragons had such a nuanced presence, almost like characters with their own motivations. I’m curious whether this was inspired by specific mythological traditions or the author’s own imagination.

The tension from impending war and awakening dragons kept me hooked, but I wonder if the setting was based on real-world conflicts or purely fantastical.
