Паноптикум

The vibrant and gritty atmosphere really brought the era to life. I'm curious whether the author based it on real places or stories from that time.

The characters' struggles with love and duty felt so real, but also heartbreaking. I wonder how much of that tension was drawn from history versus imagination.

The magical museum adds a surreal touch, but it never feels out of place. I'm curious about the creative decisions behind blending these genres.
