Каменные стражи

The world feels so alive and imaginative — I wonder if the author drew from personal childhood adventures or created it entirely from scratch.

While the beginning and end were exciting, the middle chapters felt a bit slower. Was that intentional to build suspense or just a natural part of the story arc?

The characters face real dangers but also have moments of humor and warmth. I’d love to hear thoughts on how the story maintains that balance.
