Alphabet of Thorn

The way words themselves seem to hold power in this story is mesmerizing. I wonder what inspired her to make language a central element of the magic system.

The emotional stakes are high, but I was curious whether others found the romantic tension more compelling or overshadowed by the fantasy elements.

The writing style feels almost like a poem, which adds to the magical atmosphere. I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice or a natural extension of the story.
