The Hob

The world-building feels rich and playful—I'm curious whether the author drew from traditional folklore or created something entirely new. How much of the fae culture was mapped out in advance?

The story has moments of tension but also a lot of wit and lightness. I loved that mix, but I wonder if that was intentional to keep the story from feeling too intense?

The blend of magic, fae politics, and romantic tension keeps things fresh. I'm curious if this balance was something planned from the start or evolved during writing.
