O Portão do Obelisco

The magic feels so integral to the world and characters—I'm curious whether it was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The story is rich and layered, but I sometimes struggled to keep track of all the threads. Was that intentional to reflect the chaos of the world?

The emotional core really stood out to me, and I wonder what motivated the author to explore these themes amidst the dystopian landscape.
