Kingdom Blades

The setting feels so layered and immersive — I wonder if the author mapped out this universe in detail beforehand or if it evolved during writing.

The subtle power plays kept me hooked, but at times I wished for a bit more adrenaline. Was this balance intentional to emphasize strategy over battles?

Switching perspectives added depth, but I’m curious whether this structure was planned from the start or developed during the drafting process.
