Der brennende Stein / Das Rad des Schicksals

The story shifts between different characters' perspectives, which kept things fresh but also complex. I wonder what inspired the structuring choice and how it affects the pacing.

The vivid descriptions made the world come alive, but at times I found myself wanting more action. Was this level of detail a deliberate trade-off?

The richness of the setting is captivating, and I’d love to know whether real-world cultures inspired the world’s diversity or if it all grew from the author's imagination.
