Der Ruf des Kriegers

The way the author described the blackwings and their curse was haunting. Did this imagery make others feel more immersed in the world?

The stakes felt so high throughout, I wonder if the setting was based on any particular myth or personal experience that shaped this apocalyptic tone.

There were chapters with a lot of world-building and character introspection. Did the author plan this rhythm to deepen immersion before the action picks up again?
