Der Mitternachtspalast

The detailed world-building really immerses you in the story. I wonder if the author drew from specific historical or fantastical sources to craft this environment.

The way characters confront their past and destiny made me think about how we all grapple with who we truly are. Was this an intentional theme?

The balance between suspense and eerie supernatural moments kept me hooked. I'm curious if this mix was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
