Die Totgesagten

The narrative jumps between different perspectives and timelines, which kept me guessing. I'm curious whether this structure was planned from the start or developed during writing.

There was a stretch where the plot felt a bit slow, but it seemed to build up to something bigger. Was this intentional to develop characters or atmosphere?

The icy, isolated environment added so much to the mood. I wonder if the author drew from real places or created this setting from imagination.
