Rage of Lions

The detailed setting feels so immersive for a middle-grade reader. I'm curious whether the author drew from existing myths or created everything from scratch.

The pacing kept me hooked, but the heartfelt scenes made me pause. How did the author decide when to ramp up the excitement versus slow down for character growth?

They grew so naturally through the story, making their choices believable. I wonder if the author planned their arcs from the beginning or let them evolve during writing.
