The world-building feels so vivid and layered—I'm curious whether the author envisioned this universe from the start or developed it as she wrote.

The relationships add depth without overwhelming the story, but I kept wondering if there was more behind the scenes in how those moments were crafted.

There were moments I laughed even amid danger, which made the pacing feel more dynamic. I wonder if this was a deliberate choice to keep readers engaged.
