Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods

The world-building in this series feels so rich and immersive. I'm curious what inspired the new elements introduced in this installment.

It’s interesting how the story balances danger with humor. Did the author intentionally keep it upbeat despite the serious themes?

The curse added a layer of intrigue and suspense. I wonder if it was based on any myth or original idea from the author.
