The Hive Queen

The details about the dragon societies and landscapes really brought the story to life. I wonder how much of it was planned from the start versus developed during writing.

The themes of standing up against authority felt really timely. I'm curious if the author had specific messages or experiences in mind when crafting this part of the story.

The dragons' personalities felt richer this time around. Did the author intentionally aim to deepen their arcs, or did it happen naturally as the story evolved?
