Dragon's Thief

The setting feels rich and immersive, and I’m curious whether the author built the magic system first or the world around it. Did the idea come from a specific myth or legend?

The chemistry between the characters is intense, but I wondered if the relationship's progression was intentional for pacing or character development.

I loved the adventurous scenes, but some character interactions felt like they could have been fleshed out more. Was this a deliberate choice to keep the pace brisk?
