Stadt unter dem Eis

The novel blends real myths with fiction, but I wonder how much was based on historical theories versus pure imagination. Did the author draw from specific sources or create this mythology from scratch?

The story shifts between action scenes and detailed explanations of ancient lore, which was interesting but sometimes felt like a lull. Was that balance intentional to build suspense or a personal choice?

The dual timeline adds layers to the story, but I’m curious what inspired this structure. Was it to create contrast or to gradually reveal the truth?
