Bearing an Hourglass

The way time is woven into the narrative feels so integral — I wonder if that was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The balance between epic destiny and individual choices made this book stand out. I’d love to hear others' thoughts on how the characters’ personal struggles felt intertwined with larger forces.

The hybrid genre really caught my attention, and I’m curious whether that was a deliberate creative choice or something that grew naturally during development.
