O Senhor das Sombras (Capa Mole)

The depiction of the shadowy universe is so vivid and eerie—I'm curious whether it was based on any specific myth or entirely from the author's imagination.

The way faith is intertwined with the characters' abilities made me reflect on how spiritual strength is portrayed in children's fantasy. Was that intentional to emphasize moral values?

There are some pretty intense moments, but the ending feels uplifting. Do you think this contrast helps kids process complex feelings about good and evil?
