Прекрасная тьма

The mood was so intense and brooding that I almost didn't want to put it down, but it also made me uneasy at times. How did others experience that sense of darkness?

The relationship between the characters feels so intertwined with the magic and mystery. I'm curious if the romantic elements were planned from the start or evolved naturally.

The details about the supernatural elements and the setting added so much depth. I wonder whether a detailed lore guide was created early or if it came together during writing.
