War for the Oaks

The mix of 1980s Minneapolis and fae politics makes the world feel both familiar and fantastical. I wonder what inspired this setting choice.

The story makes it hard to know who to trust or cheer for, especially with the complex fae politics. It’s a fascinating moral gray area.

Her musical background adds such a unique flavor to the narrative, blending art and magic in a way that feels fresh. I'm curious how that character choice shaped the story.
