Witches Steeped in Gold

The setting feels so vibrant and detailed — I wonder if the author crafted a whole mythology behind the magic system or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The buildup was intense, but the slower moments made me curious whether that's intentional to build tension or just pacing choices.

It added so much depth to their relationships, but I’m curious if others felt the motives were always clear or if some betrayals felt surprising.
