The Serpent and the Wolf

The push and pull between the characters kept me hooked, but I wonder if others felt the emotional stakes were as intense as the action.

The magic system felt so integral to the plot and character arcs — I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The story kept me on edge, but I wonder if the pacing of the plot twists was intentional to keep readers guessing or a natural flow of the story.
