Il grande regno. La guerra dei cigni vol. 1

The intricate power struggles felt very real, but I'm curious whether they were based on historical events or entirely imagined. Did the author draw from specific sources?

Every location and culture seemed thoughtfully crafted, which made me want to explore more. I wonder how much was planned in advance versus developed during writing.

Sometimes the story felt dense with lore, but I loved how characters navigated the grand setting. Was this balance intentional to keep readers grounded?
