The Poisoner

The atmospheric details really drew me in, but I wonder if the author based it on a particular place or era. Did the setting evolve during writing?

Their complex motives and dark choices made me question where I stand on forgiveness and justice. How did others feel about sympathizing with the protagonist?

The chemistry felt intense but also dangerous, which heightened the stakes. Was this balance a deliberate choice from the start or did it develop as the story progressed?
