The detailed magic system and fairy-tale setting really drew me in. I'm curious whether the author crafted the lore first or let it evolve while writing.

There were moments that made me laugh out loud but also kept me on the edge of my seat. Was that intentional to keep the story engaging for middle-grade readers?

It felt like a great balance that kept the pace lively without feeling overwhelming. I wonder what influenced that tone choice during the writing process.
