Das Eis bricht

The icy landscape feels so vivid and immersive—I'm curious whether the author visualized this world from real places or invented it from scratch.

Sometimes their quick decisions felt a bit idealized, but I loved the overall spirit of courage. Did others find it inspiring or a bit unrealistic?

The relationships felt genuine but also changed in interesting ways. I wonder if the author planned these arcs from the start or let them develop naturally.
