Lies Sleeping

The mix of detective work and magical lore creates a unique vibe, but I'm curious how much of that was planned from the start versus developed organically.

Some chapters felt more introspective or world-building heavy, which made me wonder if that was intentional to deepen the setting or a pacing choice.

The setting feels so alive and detailed, almost like a character itself. I'm curious whether the city was based on real locations or entirely imagined.
