The Spring Before I Met You

The stories felt like a perfect prequel, but I wonder if the author planned this collection from the start or developed it afterward to enrich the world.

The playful and lighthearted mood made the magic elements seem almost like part of everyday life. I'm curious if that was intentional to make the fantastical more relatable.

The stories were quick but impactful, and I wonder if the brevity helped or hindered deeper character exploration. What do others think?
