The world-building feels so vivid and imaginative—I'm curious whether Angie Sage drew from her own childhood adventures or created everything from scratch.

The story had such a fun start and ending, but I wondered if the middle sections were meant to give readers time to breathe or develop the characters more deeply.

The magic system feels consistent and well-thought-out, but I'm curious whether it was planned from the beginning or evolved as the story developed.
