A Curse So Dark and Lonely

Her growth from a determined outsider to a confident hero felt quick at times. Did others wish for more development or was it just right?

The lore behind the curse feels layered and unique. I'm curious whether it was inspired by existing fairy tales or came entirely from the author's imagination.

There were some intense, dark scenes alongside tender ones — I’d love to hear how the pacing between these tones was approached during writing.
