The world feels so rich and immersive, but I wondered how much was planned from the start versus evolved naturally during writing. Did the romance influence the magic system or vice versa?

The political intrigue felt so mature and nuanced—was this inspired by real-world history or something else? It added a layer of depth I didn’t expect.
