Chased by Fire

The balance between awe and threat really stood out to me. I'm curious whether the author drew from mythology, personal imagination, or a mix of both.

The story shifts focus to diplomacy and alliances, which made me wonder if that was necessary for the world-building or if it slowed the momentum.

It added depth but also complexity. I wonder what led to choosing this approach and if it was challenging to keep the narrative cohesive.
