Der Atlantis-Komplex

The mix of fantastical elements with a fast-paced plot kept me hooked, but I'm curious whether this balance was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The way the characters' identities and fears were woven into the plot made it more relatable. I wonder how much of that was inspired by real middle-grade experiences.

The underwater world felt so rich and immersive. I'm curious whether the author drew from existing myths or created a completely original setting.
