The Jasad Heir. Dalle ceneri sorgerà una regina

The setting feels rich and immersive, but I wonder what the author drew from to craft this intricate society and its traditions.

The romance is intense, but the political alliances add so much tension. How did others feel about balancing these elements?

At times the story shifted quickly, and at others it slowed down for details. Was this a deliberate choice to build suspense or focus on character development?
