崖の国物語〈7〉自由の森の戦い (ポプラ・ウイング・ブックス)

Rook's journey feels so rich and layered, but I'm curious whether his personality was mapped out from the start or evolved during writing. What inspired his growth?

The descriptions of the Edge and its creatures are so vivid — I kept wondering how much was planned versus developed as the story unfolded.

The world feels both whimsical and dangerous, which made me wonder if the setting was inspired by any real-world landscapes or stories.
