Stachel der Begierde

The vivid descriptions of the era really brought the story to life. I wonder what research or experiences influenced the author's depiction of this time.

His actions often blurred the lines between heroism and selfishness, which made me question what true integrity means in difficult circumstances.

The pacing kept me engaged, but I’m curious whether this was a deliberate choice to emphasize one aspect over the other or if it evolved during writing.
