The Tower at Stony Wood

McKillip’s world feels so vivid and enchanting—I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by traditional fairy tales or original ideas.

The narrative has a lyrical, slow build that really immerses you—I'm wondering if that was a deliberate choice to enhance the mood.

The tower seems to hold deep meaning for the characters, but I’d love insights on whether it’s meant to represent more abstract ideas like fate or memory.
