The Oligarch's Daughter

Blending personal relationships with political intrigue adds layers to the story. I wonder if this approach was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The buildup was intense, but some parts felt a bit slow for me. Was that intentional to build suspense, or could it have been tighter?

Her inner conflicts and decisions felt very nuanced. I'm curious about what inspired the choice to focus on her point of view.
