Of Silk and Steam

The world of silk, steam, and magic feels so vivid — I wonder if the author drew from specific historical periods or created it from scratch. How much research went into building this unique universe?

Their chemistry was undeniable, but their conflicts added layers of complexity. I’d love to hear if others felt the same about their dynamic!

The mix of magic and machinery felt seamless, but I’m curious whether that was a conscious choice to highlight contrasts or if it evolved during writing.
