Horizon's Edge

The way magic is used felt like a puzzle or a game, which made the battles really engaging. I'm curious if this was intentional or just my interpretation.

It gave the story a unique feel, blending the mundane with the extraordinary. Wondering if the setting was influenced by any specific myths or cultures.

The story took some time to pick up again after the initial excitement. Do others think this was a deliberate choice to develop characters or world-building?
