A Luz das Runas

The book delves deep into myth and legend—I'm curious whether these were based on specific traditions or created from scratch. How did the author decide which myths to incorporate?

The story had such a compelling start and ending, but the middle felt a bit slow for me. Was that intentional to build tension or character development?

The blending of fantastical elements with real-world settings felt seamless. I'm wondering what influenced the decision to keep magic as an integral but subtle part of the characters' lives.
