... that Charlie N. Holmberg wrote The Fifth Doll after developing a system of magic for Russian nesting dolls? Source: "she came across her set of Russian nesting dolls. Thinking about a magic system involving these dolls inspired Holmberg — and she decided to keep that idea to herself.

Source: "she wandered around her house writing down random objects like salt, thread, utensils, and planned to give each of her students one of these objects to write a magic system about. Then, she came across her set of Russian nesting dolls. Thinking about a magic system involving these dolls inspired Holmberg — and she decided to keep that idea to herself. She floated it by her agent the next week and her agent loved it, and before long her editor was asking for a synopsis." ([2])
