The Library at Mount Char

The mix of terrifying scenes and fantastical world-building creates a unique tone. I'm curious whether this balance was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The characters are complex and often morally grey, which made me question my sympathies. Was that intentional to challenge traditional hero/villain dynamics?

The Library feels like a character itself, full of hidden knowledge and danger. I wonder if it was inspired by real-world mythologies or personal fascination with books.
