Pandemic

The story kept me guessing while also making me care deeply about the characters. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The detailed science added depth but also made the story feel a bit sluggish at times. Was that intentional to build tension or just a side effect?

The setting feels incredibly relevant but also raises questions about how much was inspired by current events versus pure fiction. Would love to hear about the author's inspiration.
