Smaragdene Laster

The story is so intense and gritty, but also emotionally charged. I'm curious how the author approached blending these aspects without it feeling overwhelming.

The characters are constantly close but the tension never lets up. I wonder if this was planned to amplify the emotional impact or if it evolved during writing.

The mafia backdrop feels so immersive and specific. I'm curious whether the author drew from real-life stories or created this world entirely from imagination.
