The Missing Sapphire of Zangrabar

The town feels so vibrant and lived-in — I wonder if it was based on a real place or entirely imagined. Did the author draw from personal experiences or research?

The story picked up again towards the end, but the middle chapters felt a little slow. I'm curious if that was intentional to build tension or just my reading pace.

The tone was light and funny yet kept me guessing. I’d love to hear how the author approached blending these elements smoothly.
