Stormlord Rising

The setting feels so vivid and unique—I'm curious whether real-world geography or mythology influenced it or if it evolved entirely from the story.

The characters' pursuits are so compelling but also morally complex, which made me wonder how much the author intended us to sympathize with their choices.

The pacing felt just right, but I was curious whether this was a conscious choice to keep readers engaged or a natural outcome of the story's structure.
