Valkyrie Rising

The way the Valkyrie ships and gear are described feels so vivid and creative. I'm curious whether the author drew from existing tech or crafted it completely from imagination.

The story kept me on the edge of my seat, but I also appreciated the small moments that built character depth. How did others feel about the pacing and focus?

The choices the characters make feel very real and complex, adding layers to the story. I wonder what influenced the author's approach to this aspect.
