Леденцовые туфельки

The book’s mystical elements felt so woven into the setting that I wondered if the magic was intentionally left mysterious or if more world-building was planned.

The descriptions made the city come alive, but I’m curious whether the setting was inspired by personal experience or research.

The story’s subtle build-up made the moments of revelation hit even harder for me. Did others find the pacing effective in creating emotional impact?
