Prince of Agony

The dragons feel like such a rich symbol for the political and personal struggles in the story. I'm curious whether the author drew from existing mythologies or created a new metaphor.

The tension between the characters was intense, but I kept wondering whether their feelings developed too quickly or felt authentic given their history.

The story swings from brutal to tender so seamlessly — was that a deliberate choice to reflect the characters' inner conflicts or a challenge during writing?
