Der Abstinent

The characters’ struggles with faith and justice felt very nuanced. I wonder what inspired the author to explore these themes through their choices and internal battles.

The story took some time to build momentum, but it also allowed for deeper character development. I'm curious if this was planned or a natural result of the storytelling style.

The historical details made the world feel very lived-in, but I wonder how much research went into capturing the atmosphere and social context of that time.
