Der Himmelsdrache

The blend of history and mystery felt seamless, but I wonder what inspired the choice to set it in this particular era and how much research went into it.

The story had such a strong start and finish, but those middle sections felt a bit slower. Was that intentional to build suspense or a challenge in balancing plot points?

His internal conflicts added depth to the mystery, and I’m curious whether this was based on real figures or purely fictional creation.
