A Bridge of Ideas
What connects your 5-star appreciation for the epic sweep of 'The Hero of Ages' to the gritty, operatic world of 'Jade City'?

You've intuitively gravitated towards narratives that explore how deeply entrenched systems of influence, whether magical or familial, are destined to both perpetuate and ultimately be challenged by their own inherent structures.
