A Rivalry of Hearts

The world-building felt so rich and immersive, but I wonder what inspired the specific social hierarchy and customs depicted in the story.

Typically, this trope can feel predictable, but this book kept me guessing about how their relationship would evolve. What moments stood out as unique to others?

Their antagonism felt so genuine and complex. I’m curious whether this was inspired by personal experiences or purely a creative choice to enhance the romance.
