Heart of Obsidian

The pacing of the romance and action felt seamless, but I'm curious whether that was planned from the start or evolved during writing. How does the author approach blending these elements?

The lore and supernatural politics felt incredibly detailed, but I wondered if that depth made it harder to connect emotionally at times. What do others think?

The setting felt both familiar and mysterious, creating a compelling backdrop for the characters’ struggles. I’d love to hear what sparked this idea.
