Der Herzensdieb

The detailed hockey scenes felt authentic and integral to the story. I'm curious whether the author has a personal connection to the sport or did research to bring it to life.

The slow build felt realistic but also kept me guessing about whether things would work out. Would love to hear if others felt the same about the pacing.

There were moments of humor and vulnerability that made the characters feel genuine. Did the author aim for a particular mood or tone with this mix?
