Children of Anguish and Anarchy

The magic feels so immersive and unique — I wonder what sparked the ideas behind it and how much was planned versus developed during writing.

Some decisions felt morally complex, which made me think about the gray areas of heroism. Am I the only one who found myself sympathizing with characters' flaws?

The romantic subplot added depth but also slowed the pace at times. I’m curious if that was a deliberate choice to develop characters or a natural flow of the story.
