A Crystal of Time

The story swings between lightheartedness and darker themes, which kept me engaged but also made me wonder about the creative process behind that balance.

I loved the ideas behind the magic, but some rules seemed to shift unexpectedly. Was that intentional to keep readers guessing or just a natural part of the world-building?

The vivid descriptions made me imagine a fully realized universe. I'm curious whether real-world locations or myths influenced the author’s choices.
