Rule of the Aurora King

The setting feels so vivid and layered — I wonder if there was a particular myth or lore that sparked the creation of this intricate world.

I loved the tension, but at times it seemed like the characters' feelings shifted quickly. Was that a deliberate choice to keep the story fast-paced?

The story seamlessly weaves romance and politics, but I’m curious how much of that was planned from the beginning versus evolving during writing.
