Spy Glass

The blend of magic and spying made the story feel unique, but I wonder if the magic rules were planned from the start or developed as the story progressed.

I was expecting more obvious romantic scenes, but the build-up felt very nuanced. Was this intentional to keep the focus on the espionage themes?

The world-building feels so immersive and layered — I’d love to know what influenced the author’s choices in creating this environment.
