Gypsy Blood

Kristy Cunning's depiction of magic feels deeply rooted in cultural elements. I'm curious about how much research went into shaping this aspect of the story.

The book balances passionate moments with some pretty gritty elements. How did others feel about the way these contrasting tones were handled?

The details about their hierarchy and culture seem very layered. I wonder if the author mapped this out in advance or developed it as the story progressed.
