Mit Spionen spielt man nicht

Having a young main character in such a dangerous world adds a unique layer of vulnerability and resilience. I wonder if this choice was to appeal to YA readers or to explore certain themes more deeply.

The story managed to keep me on the edge of my seat while still bringing in lighthearted moments. How do others think the author achieved that tone without undermining the suspense?

The details felt authentic but accessible, which is a tricky balance. Was there a specific research process or personal experience that influenced this depiction?
