Ein Herz voll dunkler Schatten

The historical backdrop adds so much depth and tension to the romance. I'm curious whether this setting was chosen to reflect the characters' inner struggles or for another reason.

His journey to find forgiveness was intense, but I wondered if some readers found it challenging to root for him. How did others interpret his redemption?

The romance scenes felt well-integrated, but I’d love to know how much thought went into pacing the emotional and physical aspects of the story.
