Courting Carolina

The mix of everyday settings and fantasy feels seamless here. I'm curious whether this balance was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

I loved the world-building, but at times I wondered if the magic took focus away from character development. What did others think?

The town felt so vivid and cozy, I kept imagining it as a real place. I'd love to know if the author drew from personal experience or created it entirely from imagination.
