Los seis finalistas

The detailed world-building really drew me in, but I wonder if the author based it on existing science or created it from imagination. What do you think inspired this universe?

While I enjoyed the chemistry, the relationship seemed to develop quickly amid all the action. Was that a deliberate choice to keep the pace or just my impression?

It’s impressive how the story maintains tension without sacrificing emotional depth. I’m curious about the process behind pacing these elements together.
