Das Tal. Die Katastrophe

The atmosphere feels so immersive and tense, and I wonder if the author’s own experiences influenced this unique mix. Did the setting evolve during writing or was it planned from the start?

The initial chapters felt quite introspective, but then the plot ramped up in intensity. Was this pacing choice deliberate to build suspense or a challenge of balancing atmosphere and action?

The conclusion left me pondering what’s real and what’s not, which seems intentional. I’d love to hear others’ thoughts on whether the story’s questions are truly answered.
