The Second Storm

The setting feels rich and immersive, making me wonder how much was planned in advance versus developed during writing. Did natural world events or myths influence the story's creation?

The story never slowed down, which kept me on the edge, but I also wondered if this was intentional to reflect the chaos of the storm. How do others feel about the pacing in high-action scenes?

While the world-building is impressive, I was curious about how much focus was given to characters' personal journeys versus the larger conflicts. Did the story evolve differently during writing?
