To Ride Hell’s Chasm

The depth of the setting really pulls readers in and makes the story feel so real. I'm curious whether this was mapped out from the start or developed as the story progressed.

The story had some long stretches that felt like build-up, but I wonder if that was intentional to heighten the tension or if it could have been tighter.

There’s a lot of political nuance that adds layers to the story, but I’m curious how the author approached integrating these elements without slowing down the adventure.
