Мерле и повелитель подземного мира

The world-building feels so vivid and enchanting — I wonder if the author drew from specific legends or created it entirely from imagination.

The whimsical tone and adventurous spirit reminded me of childhood favorites. Did the author intentionally evoke that feeling of wonder?

There are moments of lighthearted fun alongside real stakes, and I’m curious how they approached maintaining that balance for young readers.
